Dr. Selim's research focuses on clinical outcomes in solid organ transplantation, preservation injury mitigation, and expanding access for vulnerable populations. His work integrates surgical critical care for high-acuity pre- and post-transplant patients with innovative organ utilization techniques. Recent publications (2022-2025) demonstrate consistent contributions to kidney and liver transplantation literature.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals dominant themes in risk prediction modeling (BK nephropathy, PROMIS scores), ischemia-reperfusion injury mechanisms, and advanced practice provider integration in transplant care. His work shows increasing emphasis on mental health integration, ethical donation frameworks, and viability assessment techniques for marginal organs.

With over 20 peer-reviewed publications and national conference presentations, Dr. Selim maintains active engagement in surgical education and clinical innovation within transplant surgery.
