Nick Jones

Dr. Nick Jones is an Associate Professor in Biomedical Sciences at Swansea University, leading his own laboratory since 2021. His research focuses on immunometabolism in T-cell responses, targeting metabolic dysregulation in diseases like autoimmunity and pediatric leukemia. He holds grants from the MRC and Children’s Cancer and Leukemia Group. He teaches modules including Human Immunopathology and Biomedical Techniques, mentoring students through final-year research projects. His work aims to translate immunometabolic insights into clinical immunotherapies.

Education: PhD in Immunology from Swansea University (2017).
Research Themes: T-cell metabolism in cancer/autoimmunity, dietary influences on immune function, metabolic drug targeting.

Recent Articles: Focus on metabolic pathways in colorectal cancer, neuroblastoma, and immune cell function. Studies highlight sucralose’s immunosuppressive effects and iron’s role in T-cell activity.

Advising & Grants: Supervises PhD projects on immunotherapy, metabolic disorders, and CAR-T cell optimization. Collaborates on MRC-funded projects targeting T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Labs/Teams: Leads the Jones Lab at Swansea University Medical School, focusing on immunometabolic therapies.
