Exploring the Skin's Barrier & Microbiota

Monday March 24, 2025 1:30pm - 2:45pm EDT

1E02

The skin is colonized by a vast terrain of microorganisms, bacteria and, to a lesser extent, fungi and viruses that comprise the ecological community of the human microbiome. The microbiome nexus places emphasis primarily on human health; however, a broadened perspective also reflects the interaction between the microbiota, external influences, and the skin's barrier. The homeostasis of the skin’s microbiome and skin barrier is strongly influenced by lifestyle, host factors and the exposome.

This formidable complex system is composed of integrative microorganisms involving both the skin and the gut, each having essential protective functions against invading pathogens, mediating inflammatory conditions, and modulation of the immune system.

This lecture will explore several intrinsic and extrinsic aspects of the skin’s microbiome, and the microbiome's relationship with the skin barrier.
