Gallo Lab Focus

Our research is focused on understanding how the skin and its resident microbiome defends the body against infections and the environment. We apply modern techniques of biochemistry, immunology, microbiology, and genetics to study complex biological systems within the immune system and the microbiome.  Our goal is to translate this information into improved diagnostics and therapeutics to better understand and treat human disease.
