We serve as a trusted resource for the latest news and helpful information related to skin health and surface hygiene advancements. GOJO microbiologists, scientists,
nurses and other professionals post regularly
and we also get the views of outside experts and
thought leaders in the field. It’s all part of the
GOJO Purpose, Saving Lives and Making Lives Better Through Well-Being Solutions.
Julia Oh, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor at the Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine
Dr. Oh is an Assistant Professor at the Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine. Previously, she completed postdoctoral training at the National Institutes of Health, her Ph.D. in genetics at Stanford University, and her B.A. from Harvard University at the FAS Center for Systems Biology. Her primary research interests focus on using genomic technologies and synthetic biology to explore and engineer the human microbiome--the communities of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that inhabit all areas of the human body and play an integral role in human health. The unifying goal of her laboratory is to understand how microbiota interact with their human host to cause disease, and subsequently to develop microbiome-centric treatment and preventative strategies.

Like a forest, plain or desert, our skin has different ecologies. We have oily sites like our face and torso, dry sites like our hands and forearms, and moist sites like our feet and armpits. And all over our skin, we have tremendous numbers of microbes—bacteria, fungi and viruses that make up what is called the skin microbiome.
