Clinical Immunologist, studying how genetic or therapeutic loss of an immune checkpoint leads to disease.

We show that vaccine protection and neutralising antibodies wane more rapidly in people with obesity. https://t.co/arCZUe8lcE
Huge collaborative effort from my lab in @MRC_TU with @Farooqi_Lab @DrAzizSheikh @LintermanLab supported by @UKCovidVaxHub

It is a lovely study demonstrating something that affects many of us now.

Our analysis of cognitive changes during the Wildtype SARS-CoV-2 Human Challenge Study is now out. We observed subtle memory, executive and attentional performance decrements post-pre infection in mild cases. https://t.co/uPGruMikJu @ImperialBrains @eClinicalMed @iamcognitron

Really great to be able to help @hollfelderlab with this great project. Really excited to continue using this technology. https://t.co/XezlLDQQF0

We should form an nr4a1 appreciation group?

I hope lots of people will use it!

This just out. Really hard work from Munetomo and Ty. Summary to come. Intratumoral antigen signaling traps CD8+ T cells to confine exhaustion to the tumor site | Science Immunology https://t.co/VuNn7J8mnh

Very impressive research studying the impact of obesity on immunity in a resource poor environment under difficult circumstances with a lot of determination! Really enjoyable day for me.

Many congratulations to our fab student Mohammad Ali @AliMdKochi for passing his DPhil viva today on impact of DM & obesity on COVID immunity in Bangladesh. Many thanks to examiners Helen McShane & James Thaventhiran @Thav_Lab. Ali is now off to postdoc for @PKlenermanLab

SEMINAR: The Immunity scales – how obesity weighs in on immunity, Dr James Thaventhiran @Thav_Lab @MRC_TU
Tuesday 27th February, 1.30-2.30pm

Had an incredible experience collaborating on the "Bioengineered small extracellular vesicles deliver multiple SARS-CoV-2 antigenic fragments" project. Truly groundbreaking work with an amazing team! https://t.co/sW6muZYIBB

This study highlights the resilience of the gut microbiome to host immune changes triggered by COVID-19 vaccination and suggest minimal, if any, impact on microbiome-mediated processes https://t.co/pmIMzXDYBJ

[James Thaventhiran @Thav_Lab]

Our research in this report is important for patients with primary immunodeficiency.

[Kiran Raosaheb Patil @kiran_r_patil]

Does COVID-19 vaccination affect gut microbiome? We find minimal, if any, impact, even under immunodeficiency. Results encourage vaccine acceptance esp. considering large microbiome shifts observed during infection 🙏🏽 brilliant lab members + @Thav_Lab @MRC_TU @Cambridge_Uni ++
