Her talk explains how the varied topography of human skin shapes its microbial communities, and how her group combined culturing and computational pipelines to build metagenomic assembled genomes of the skin microbiome. She also describes research on global skin microbiome diversity, including the fungal pathogen Trichophyton concentricum among the Orang Asli of Malaysia, multi-drug resistant pathogens in long term care facilities, and commensal bacteria that persist from childhood.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/new-york/events/human-skin-microbiome-finding-friends-amongst-the-foes-79530/", "official_url": "https://www.rockefeller.edu/events-and-lectures/65126-tba-332", "image": ""}, {"title": "The Thermodynamics of Living Organization", "start": "2026-11-03T16:00:00-05:00", "end": null, "place": "Rockefeller University", "address": "York Avenue 1230, 10065 New York", "price": "", "price_from": null, "price_to": null, "tickets_url": "", "category": "talks-readings", "tags": ["science/biology"], "description": "A public science seminar in the Center for Studies in Physics and Biology series, held at Rockefeller University.
