The long-term goal of our research program is to create new microbiome-based therapeutics for skin disease, with implications for a wide range of inflammatory diseases. Our lab is dually computational and experimental - we develop advanced algorithms and analyses using shotgun metagenomic sequencing data for the purpose of reconstructing the struct...
Algorithms for improving reference-based and de novometagenomic characterizationsExperimental technologies (single cell, in situ sequencing, high throughput phenotyping) for reconstructing microbiota and host-microbiome interactionsThe genetic architecture and strain diversity of skin commensal Staphylococcus epidermidisand its role in skin health and infectious diseaseDefining the host-microbiome immune interactome – large-scale reconstruction of the complex network linking microbial products to aberrant immune activationLocal and systemic interactions of the gut and skin microbiome in skin cancer progression and immunotherapy responseEngineering Staphylococcus epidermidisas a drug delivery chassisDefining the rules for engineering the skin microbiomeModeling engraftment of foreign microbiota and immune interactions in miceThe Oh Lab at JAX focuses on creating new microbiome-based therapeutics for skin disease and other inflammatory diseases. The lab uses computational and experimental approaches to study the structure, dynamics, and function of the skin, gut, and airway microbiota.
Julia Oh is an assistant professor at The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine, where she studies the human microbiome and its role in disease. She uses metagenomics, genomic technologies, and genome engineering to develop new treatments based on microbial communities.
