Objectives 1.
Sample and Sequence the Human Skin Microbiome
Our first objective, pursued as part of the Quaranskin project, is to study the impact of environmental and behavioral factors on the skin microbiome and to provide a new database to study its composition in the context of reduced social and environmental interactions.
Objectives 2.
Design tools to engineer the bacterium S. epidermidis
Our second objective is to make S. epidermidis an efficient synthetic biology chassis that can be used to monitor the population dynamics of the skin microbiome. This in order to maintain its equilibrium and to avoid pathologies induced by dysbiosis.
