I will use this position to advance both research and clinical practice, and I very much look forward to being an ambassador for Versus Arthritis and working even more closely with them in the future."

Professor James Galloway from our School of Immunology & Microbial Sciences @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social has been announced as the new Versus Arthritis Endowed Chair. Read more: www.kcl.ac.uk/news/profess...

Co-led with the wonderful Fran Denk @denklab.bsky.social with support from our incredible programme manager Fay Minty it's a complete joy to lead this programme which allowed us to recruit super talented students and led to so many exciting new projects and collaborations! #neuro-immune ♥️

Award for Collaborative Research Excellence

Very honoured and happy to share that our fantastic #Neuro-Immune Interactions in Health and Disease #PhD programme team @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social was awarded the Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine @kingslsm.bsky.social Collaborative Research Excellence Award.

Such an awe-inspiring presentation by Carl June on CAR T cell therapy @focisimmunology.bsky.social Fantastic to see the latest and much-needed progress in treatment for glioblastoma 👏

Looking forward to a great week of translational immunology @focisimmunology.bsky.social

This was a complex study, which took 6+ years to complete.The paper shows that skin and joint inflammation in #psoriatic #arthritis is linked in terms of #T-cell clonality and type (CD8+ tissue-resident memory T-cells). This may help explain why & how the disease spreads from the skin to the joint.

Clonal sharing of CD8+ T‐cells links skin and joint inflammation in psoriatic arthritis Objective Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an HLA class I-associated inflammatory arthritis that develops in up to 30% of people with psoriasis. We tested the hypothesis that skin and joint inflammation...

Super proud to share another recent output from the Taams lab at @kclcibci.bsky.social @kingslsm.bsky.social @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social, performed by the wonderful Lucy Durham, in close collaboration with Fran Humby & Bruce Kirkham and many others. doi.org/10.1002/art....

Delighted that our work on JAK inhibitors acting directly on human sensory neurons with @denklab.bsky.social has made the front cover of @jci-insight.bsky.social

King’s has been named the 31st best university in the world and 5th best in the UK in the QS World University rankings 2026. 🎉

This was a fantastic collaboration with @denklab.bsky.social leading to intriguing and exciting novel mechanistic insight as to how JAK inhibitors may reduce #pain in #rheumatoid #arthritis by acting directly on #sensory #neurons. Thank you to @wellcometrust.bsky.social for funding this work.

Rosie presented work from our Welcome Trust funded Collaborative Award with the amazing teams of @denklab.bsky.social, and Chris Buckley and Dave Bennett from Oxford. Well done Rosie 👍🎊

Also super proud of postdoc Dr Rosie Ross who won a prize for best talk at the recent fabulous #EWRR workshop in Budapest. Her talk was on the peripheral drivers of #pain in #rheumatoid #arthritis.

Super proud of 3rd year PhD student Katie Lambert, who won a people's choice award for her excellent talk on Effector T cell-modulated #monocytes resemble myeloid cells from the site of inflammation at the recent #PhD symposium of our School of #Immunology and #Microbial Sciences. Well done Katie 🎉🤩

Wishing all budding and experienced immunologists a (belated) wonderful #DayofImmunology - but let's not just make it a day, but a week, month, year to celebrate and shine a spotlight on the importance of #immunology in the #immunotherapy of #cancer #autoimmunity #allergy and in #vaccination
