About the Lab:

Research in the Grice laboratory is focused on the skin microbiome and its roles in health, disease, and wound healing. Employing genomic and metagenomic approaches, Dr. Grice’s laboratory has made important contributions to the understanding of cutaneous microbial community ecology, responses to perturbation, functions in regulating inflammation and tissue repair, and competitive interactions in pathogenic infection. Members of the Grice lab have a wide range of expertise that allows collaborative, interdisciplinary research approaches including computational biology, bioinformatics, microbiology, immunology, and skin biology. Among other trainers, lab members collaborate with Drs. Phillip Scott, Margolis, Bushman, and Takeshita, to name only a few. The Grice lab is supported by multiple NIH grants, industry funding, and foundation awards.
