Tarun Gupta is an NIHR Academic Clinical Lecturer and Gastroenterology Specialty Registrar at the University of Oxford, affiliated with the Nuffield Department of Medicine and the MRC Human Immunology Unit. He is a core member of the Simmons Group focused on Intestinal Immunity in Health and Disease, with college affiliations at Linacre College, St John's College, and Green Templeton College.
His educational background includes a DPhil from Oxford, an MA from Cambridge, a Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery (BMBChir) from Oxford, and Membership of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP). Gupta's research centers on immunological mechanisms in gut inflammation, particularly CD8+ T cell responses in immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced colitis and ulcerative colitis. He leverages single-cell resolution technologies to dissect spatiotemporal immune dynamics in human intestinal tissue.
Analysis of his 2020-2024 publications reveals a consistent focus on T cell biology in immunotherapy-related colitis, with increasing emphasis on tissue-resident memory T cells and translational applications for cancer immunotherapy adverse events. His work bridges basic immunology and clinical gastroenterology through advanced cellular mapping techniques.
Scientific recognition includes:
- NIHR Academic Clinical Lectureship
- Zinc-NIHR Innovation Fellowship (in partnership with Jude Bladder Health)
As a Clinical Teaching Associate at Green Templeton College, he contributes to medical education while maintaining active clinical practice in gastroenterology. His research is supported by NIHR and Zinc Innovation funding streams, with editorial responsibilities as Associate Editor for BMJ Open Gastroenterology.
Gupta operates within the Simmons Group laboratory environment at the MRC Human Immunology Unit, collaborating on intestinal immunity projects that integrate clinical samples with cutting-edge immunological assays.
