Time heals all wounds… but the skin microbiome can also influence how quickly—and how well—they heal. Did you know that our skin is home to diverse communities of microorganisms that can play both protective and harmful roles during wound healing?
At this lecture, you will discover how the natural wound-healing process works, why certain bacteria and the formation of biofilms can prolong inflammation and hinder recovery, and how particular commensal bacteria and the bioactive molecules they produce can contribute to skin regeneration and help regulate the inflammatory response.
Through examples from current scientific research, you will explore the fascinating world of the skin microbiome and discover why maintaining a balance among microorganisms is essential for the health of our skin—our body’s largest protective barrier.
Admission to the lecture is free, and registration is not required.
