Join us for the next session in Genoskin’s webinar series, where we explore how the skin’s
immune system balances protection and pathology in response to microbial threats. This
session will feature Dr. Philipp Starkl, who will share the latest research on type 2 immunity in
the skin and how protective mechanisms can shift into allergic disease.
This episode of Genoskin’s webinar series is scheduled for:
📅 June 4th, 2025
🕗 8 a.m. (PDT) | 11 a.m. (EDT) | 5 p.m. (CEST)
From Defense to Disease: How Type 2 Immunity Shapes Skin Health
Discover how type 2 immunity protects the skin from microbial threats—and what happens
when it goes too far.
The skin serves as a vital barrier, protecting the body from harmful environmental
substances and microbial threats. It is also home to a diverse community of
microorganisms—the cutaneous microbiome—which plays a crucial role in immune system
development and regulation. When this delicate ecosystem is disrupted, it can contribute to
the onset of immunopathologies, including allergic diseases.
In this webinar, Dr. Phlipp Starkl will present new insights into the dynamic nature of type 2
immune responses during bacterial skin infections. He will shed light into the mechanisms
that normally promote protection, and how under certain conditions, these same responses
can become maladaptive, driving allergic inflammation instead.
This session is a must-attend for immunologists, dermatology researchers, and
professionals in skin biology, microbiome science, or allergy and infection research.
