    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.
