Title: Harnessing the immune superpowers of commensal skin bacteria

Topic: The skin is an understudied but critical source of immune education. Commensal skin bacteria do not generate infection or inflammation, but somehow stimulate potent immune responses sufficient to treat cancer. We are investigating two fundamental questions: (1) how do commensal bacteria stimulate T cells, and (2) how can we harness this commensal-immune crosstalk to create novel therapies?
