Over the years, Dr. Nimer has conducted extensive clinical and basic science research into the treatment and genetic basis of adult leukemia and bone
marrow failure states, defining the regulatory mechanisms that control the production of blood cells and exploring ways to improve the treatment of blood based cancers.
Dr Jean W Dodds, writing in US Dog World, March, 1995, (16)
states: «Immune — suppressant viruses of the retrovirus and parvovirus classes have recently been implicated as causes of bone
marrow failure, immune - mediated blood diseases, haematologic malignancies (lymphoma and leukemia), dysregulation of humoral and cell - mediated immunity, organ
failure (liver, kidney) and autoimmune endocrine disorders — especially of the thyroid gland (thyroiditis), adrenal gland (Addison's disease) and pancreas (diabetes).
