Overview

Daniel M. Altmann is affiliated with Imperial College London in the United Kingdom. Their primary field of study is Medicine, with a research focus spanning several subfields, including Infectious Diseases, Neurology, Immunology, Molecular Biology, and Genetics.

Their research extensively covers topics related to SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, including clinical research studies, long-term effects of COVID-19, epidemiological studies, vaccine and immunoinformatics approaches, peripheral neuropathies and disorders, and immunotherapy along with immune responses.

Frequent publication venues for Altmann's work include bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Science, BMJ, Journal of Crohn's and Colitis, and SSRN Electronic Journal.

Notable recent papers include:

  • Antibody response to first BNT162b2 dose in previously SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals (2021, The Lancet)
  • Pre-existing polymerase-specific T cells expand in abortive seronegative SARS-CoV-2 (2021, Nature)
  • Prior SARS-CoV-2 infection rescues B and T cell responses to variants after first vaccine dose (2021, Science)
  • Immune boosting by B.1.1.529 (Omicron) depends on previous SARS-CoV-2 exposure (2022, Science)
  • The immunology of long COVID (2023, Nature reviews. Immunology)

Altmann frequently collaborates with a group of researchers, including Rosemary J. Boyton, Áine McKnight, Charlotte Manisty, James Moon, and Joseph M. Gibbons.
