Professor Moss led the UK Coronavirus Immunology Consortium (UK-CIC) that brought together leading immunologists from 20 UK universities to understand the immune response to SARS-CoV-2. UK-CIC launched in August 2020 with £6.5 million funding from UKRI and NIHR. It aimed to determine the mechanisms of virus-specific immunity and how these relate to clinical outcome in different patient groups. Published research support by UK-CIC can be viewed online.

He is currently leading the immunity strand of the COVID-19 National Core Studies Programme, initiated by Sir Patrick Vallance in October 2020, that supports research to improve our understanding of immunity against COVID-19.

As well as publishing in leading journals, including Nature, Blood and the European Journal of Immunology, Professor Moss's research has featured in the Financial Times, BBC News and The Economist.

Research Themes
Professor Moss’s research programme is based around the immunology of cancer, transplantation and viral infection. His team has an internationally competitive position in cytomegalovirus infection; bone marrow transplantation and cancer immunology.
