Hematology & Oncology Research Lab

Principal Investigator: Prof. Salem Alshemmari · Professor of Medicine

About the lab

Hematology & Oncology Research Lab, led by Prof. Salem Alshemmari, is a clinical and translational research group at Kuwait University and the Kuwait Cancer Control Center (KCCC). The lab studies blood cancers from diagnosis through long-term outcomes, pairing bedside clinical practice with molecular diagnostics, prognostic modeling, and national registry data. Much of its work is built on real-world evidence from Kuwaiti and wider Gulf patient cohorts, and it collaborates internationally through networks such as EMBMT, WBMT, and ERIC to benchmark regional outcomes against global standards.

Research focus

Improving the diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment outcomes of hematological malignancies in the Middle Eastern population. The lab develops and validates prognostic tools - adapting international indices such as CLL-IPI, IPS-E, and the ELN guidelines to a younger, regionally distinct patient base - and generates real-world outcome data across leukemias, lymphomas, myeloproliferative neoplasms, and stem-cell transplantation to guide evidence-based care.

Research areas

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL): prognosis, comorbidity, and real-world outcomesAcute myeloid leukemia (AML): epidemiology, risk stratification, and survivalMyeloproliferative neoplasms and JAK2/driver mutationsLymphomas (Hodgkin, non-Hodgkin, DLBCL, MALT)Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and graft-versus-host diseaseTransfusion medicine and immunohematology (HLA typing, alloimmunization)Real-world evidence and national cancer registriesSupportive and palliative care in cancer
