Biography

Richard Grencis is a Professor of Immunology at the University of Manchester with expertise in studying the immune response to parasitic infections, particularly gastrointestinal nematodes. He obtained his Bachelor's degree in Zoology from the University of Nottingham in 1979 and completed his Ph.D. at the University of Glasgow under the supervision of Derek Wakelin. His research is centered on defining the regulation of immune responses to intestinal nematodes and the role of leukocyte populations. Grencis has identified novel mechanisms of parasite control and ways the immune system is modulated during chronic infections. He collaborates on significant projects, including insights into the microbiota's influence on immune responses and developing new therapeutic strategies for autoimmune diseases and neglected tropical diseases.
