Dr. Alam’s research paper entitled “Potential applications of quantum dots in mapping sentinel lymph node and detection of micrometastases in breast carcinoma” has also been accepted for publication in the renowned international journal “Global Medical Discovery”, Canada.

Global Medical Discovery [ISSN 1929-8536] a Canada based company, features breaking research judged by GMD’s advisory team to be of key importance in science and medicine. Papers are selected from over 20,000 published each week from most peer-reviewed journals. This is for the first time that a paper from AMU has been selected by the GMD group as a key scientific article.

In his paper, Dr. Alam has said that the breast cancer cure aims at complete elimination of malignant cells and essentially requires detection and treatment of any micro metastases. He presented a review of the current methods in use and the potential role of the quantum dots (QDs) in detection and visualization of sentinel mphnode and micro metastases in breast cancer patients. The traditional histopathological, immunohistochemical and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction procedures being used for micro metastases detection had serious drawbacks of high false negativity, specificity variations and false positivity of the results. Photon emission fluorescence multiplexing characteristics of the quantum dots make them potentially ideal probes for studying the dynamics of cellular processes over time such as continuous tracking of cell migration, differentiation, and metastases. In breast cancer, QDs based molecular and genomic detections had an unparallel high sensitivity and specificity.
