Microbes in Allergy and Autoimmunity Related to the Skin (MAARS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

"Allergy and autoimmunity cause increasing burden to societies worldwide. We study the effect of microbiome on the skin, the forefront barrier to environment, on autoimmunity and allergy, using atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis (PSO) as paradigmatic examples. We have detailed information about the genetic risk factors, as well as the molecular and cellular players in AD and PSO, but we know ver ...
