Biography
Professor Jo Spencer is a Professor of Experimental Medicine in the Peter Gorer Department of Immunobiology, School of Immunology & Microbial Sciences.
Research
Spencer Group
We are interested in human B cells and mucosal immunology. Our projects include the study of human B cells in tissue, in the gut and B cell response to systemic lupus erythematosus.
Spatial Biology Network
The Spatial Biology Network is a cross-faculty research interest group that brings together researchers from various disciplines, ranging from technology development and molecular biology, to bioinformatics and clinical translational research, to explore the complexity of spatial biology.
RNA Biology
RNA is at the forefront of biomedical research for its central role in how information is transferred from DNA to protein. This Research Interest Group is open to all interested parties from across the University.

Features of autoimmune diseases found to be normal components of gut immunity
Researchers have found that cell types and molecules usually associated with autoimmune disease are present in the gut at sites where bacteria normally meet...
Researchers find previously undetected population complexity in human lymphoid tissue B cells
Deep analysis of human marginal zone B cells could improve scientists’ understanding of lupus nephritis
