The SMOOTH (Skin & Mucosal Microbiome Omics for Total Health) laboratory employs a comprehensive, AI-powered research pipeline that integrates large-scale clinical sampling with cutting-edge computational analysis to advance personalized skin medicine. Our research framework encompasses six core components that work synergistically to decode the complex relationship between skin microbiome and human health.

Skin bacteria influence the development of Langerhans cells.
