Our team focuses on microbiota-human host interactions in health and disease. The work aims at gaining insight into microbial (host-interacting) properties in order to facilitate identification, prevention, and treatment of microbiota-associated diseases.The work includes: - molecular mapping of complex microbiotas of the human superorganism, with a special focus on the skin and oral microbiota - population genetics and taxonomy of human-associated bacterial species, including pan-genomics of important skin microorganisms - unravel disease associations of members of the human skin microbiota - host-bacterium interactions to study bacterial interference on the human host Please visit our lab website for current projects: www.medbac.dk
