Clinical Immunologist, studying how genetic or therapeutic loss of an immune checkpoint leads to disease.
MRC Toxicology Unit
Joined November 2015
We show that vaccine protection and neutralising antibodies wane more rapidly in people with obesity. 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. @ImperialBrains @eClinicalMed @iamcognitron

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

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