James Thaventhiran's research focuses on the adaptive immune system, particularly how lymphocytes proliferate in response to pathogens and how they maintain their replicative capacity against anti-proliferative signals induced by inflammation. His previous work investigated the signals linked to terminal differentiation in these immune cells and their proliferation magnitude. Currently, he is examining how adaptive immune lymphocytes respond to avoid suppressive signals during inflammation. His research is significantly supported by the Medical Research Council, aiming to discover novel pathways for therapeutic manipulation of immune responses. Thaventhiran's scientific objectives are rooted in clinical work conducted at Addenbrooke's Hospital, where he works with patients suffering from primary and secondary immunodeficiencies, focusing on the identification of new immunodeficiencies and therapies.
