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....
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...

British Society for Immunology@britsocimm.bsky.social · last yr.And it's the moment you've all been waiting for... time to announce our first winner! The winner of the 2025 Outstanding Contribution to the BSI Award is…. Professor Leonie Taams, @taamslab.bsky.social Congratulations on your achievement!
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.
@denklab@denklab.bsky.social · last yr.Many congratulations to our joint Denk/@taamslab.bsky.social PhD student Yuening Li for her new paper explaining why JAK inhibitors are better painkillers in rheumatoid arthritis than other biologics: insight.jci.org/articles/vie... 🧪🧠 #PainResearch #painscience #Immunosky
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
