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": "", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-06T15:30:00-05:00", "end": null, "place": "Rockefeller University", "address": "York Avenue 1230, 10065 New York", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "Chronic Skin Inflammation - Lessons Learned from Eczema and Cutaneous Lymphomas", "start": "2026-11-04T12:00:00-05:00", "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/medicine"], "description": "A seminar in the Seminars in Clinical Research series titled \"Chronic Skin Inflammation - Lessons Learned from Eczema and Cutaneous Lymphomas\", held in the Carson Family Auditorium at Rockefeller University.
