Biography

Joanne Pennock is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Manchester, focusing on the intersection of gut and skin inflammation, particularly through the use of models for colitis and atopic dermatitis. Her research seeks to understand host-pathogen interactions and their roles in chronic inflammation, with significant implications for conditions like Crohn's disease. By manipulating infection models, she investigates the genetic susceptibility to gut inflammation and the enteric nervous system's involvement in large intestinal inflammation. She has led academic initiatives in MSc Clinical Immunology and has contributed to NHS training programs. Collaborating with several experts both locally and internationally, she engages with the UN Sustainable Development Goals through her work in Immunology and Mucosal Immunology.
