Background
  • Dr. Alam has a specialist clinical and research interest in painful diabetic neuropathy, small fibre neuropathy, and neuropathic pain. His research primarily focuses on surrogate endpoints for human diabetic neuropathy and other peripheral neuropathies. He has extensively evaluated the utility of skin biopsy and corneal confocal microscopy for the early diagnosis of small fibre neuropathy.
