Honored to share our work @SocInvestDerm 2026, on the skin, and how the immune system, the endocrine system, and the skin microbes interface. Our latest is now in press published with @natureportfolio.nature.com Nature Microbiology! #research. rdcu.be/e50PE
Tamia Harris-Tryon, MD/PhD (UT Southwestern) presents on immune-endocrine regulation of the skin microbiome.
Her lab investigates how resident microbes shape the skin barrier + contribute to inflammatory disease.

Exciting to have our findings out after peer review!!! The skin generates sex steroids in nanomolar to micromolar amounts, depending on the sex steroid and the skin site. Specifically skin androgens regulate S. aureus quorum sensing.

Great summary of what is known about S. aureus/skin dynamics. We are exciting to be expanding the picture with our findings demonstrating how the skin secretes hormones and how testosterone stimulates QS in S. aureus. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4051…

@JosephineThinwa the @utswnews ad runs twice every Sunday morning during the local broadcast of @MeetThePress on @NBCNews! The girls and I love seeing our famous scientist friend @JosephineThinwa at the bench and walking the halls of the hospital. #inspiring
You made my mom cry—in a good way. Thanks @UTSWMedCenter!

What a treat to share my story through the STORIES series. Thanks to the audience and @ADiaz_PhD for the thoughtful questions. Major take aways: work hard & follow your curiosity, what brings you joy, and what work may provide a service. The rest will fall into place.
What a fantastic session we had with @HarrisTryonLab. Your passion for science and medicine and your commitment to service were vividly present throughout the conversation. Thank you for sharing your story. You are an incredible physician-scientist and a role model for many.

Thoroughly enjoyed the last few weeks of travel to the @VI4Research @NIH_NIAMS and then giving the Welker-Streips lecture in #Breckenridge @WindRiverConf. Thanks to the micro community for welcoming me into the fold and christening me a #bactobaddy.
