Overview

Randall S. Johnson is affiliated with the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. Their research spans key areas in biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and medicine, with notable contributions to immunology, cancer research, molecular biology, physiology, and genetics.

Their work focuses on topics including cancer, hypoxia, and metabolism; immune cell function and interaction; immune cells in cancer; dementia and cognitive impairment research; adipose tissue and metabolism; epigenetics and DNA methylation; and CAR-T cell therapy research.

Johnson has contributed to several recent papers with significant academic impact. These include:

  • Macrophage metabolic reprogramming presents a therapeutic target in lupus nephritis (2020), published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • Cytotoxic T-cells mediate exercise-induced reductions in tumor growth (2020), published in eLife
  • A century of the Warburg effect (2023), published in Nature Metabolism
  • Oxygen regulation of TET enzymes (2021), published in FEBS Journal
  • Modified Hypoxia-Inducible Factor Expression in CD8+ T Cells Increases Antitumor Efficacy (2021), published in Cancer Immunology Research

Frequent collaborators of Johnson include:

  • Pedro P. Cunha
  • Helene Rundqvist
  • Pedro Veliça
  • Iosifina P. Foskolou
  • Laura Barbieri

The scientist regularly publishes in venues such as Alzheimer's & Dementia, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), eLife, Frontiers in Immunology, and Apollo (University of Cambridge).

Johnson's research contributions integrate cancer biology and metabolism with immune cell function, often exploring the metabolic states of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment and their implications for therapy. This multidisciplinary approach underlines their involvement in both fundamental and translational biomedical research.
