Thomas Boehm is affiliated with the Max Planck Society in Germany. Their research focuses on immunology and microbiology, with significant contributions to biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. The scientist has explored various subfields, including immunology, molecular biology, oncology, cell biology, and genetics.

Their main topics of research cover T-cell and B-cell immunology, immune cell function and interaction, aquaculture disease management and microbiota, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, epigenetics and DNA methylation, CAR-T cell therapy research, and immune response and inflammation.

Thomas Boehm has published extensively, with frequent appearances in publication venues such as Communications Biology, Nature, European Journal of Immunology, Nature Communications, and Science Immunology. Their recent papers include:

  • The immunogenetics of sexual parasitism, 2020, Science
  • Developmental dynamics of two bipotent thymic epithelial progenitor types, 2022, Nature
  • Co-evolution of mutagenic genome editors and vertebrate adaptive immunity, 2020, Current Opinion in Immunology
  • Cytidine deaminase 2 is required for VLRB antibody gene assembly in lampreys, 2020, Science Immunology
  • Pervasive changes of mRNA splicing in upf1 -deficient zebrafish identify rpl10a as a regulator of T cell development, 2020, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Collaboration has been an important aspect of their work, with frequent coauthors including Michael Schorpp, Norimasa Iwanami, Jeremy B. Swann, Ryo Morimoto, and Connor P. O'Meara.
