Tamas’s research interests have always encompassed a broad spectrum of critical care practices: from monitoring and modulation of inflammatory response in sepsis and after major surgery to long-term outcomes following critical care discharge and also participating actively in large randomized controlled trials. During the COVID-19 pandemic his work concentrated on phenotyping COVID19 ARDS and leading the RECOVERY and REMAP-CAP trials for his organization.

He has been awarded the Member of the British Empire (MBE) title at the Queen's New Year's Honours in 2021, for his work during the COVID-19 pandemic.
