Welcome to the Grice Lab
Welcome to the Grice Laboratory in the Department of Dermatology at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania!
Our research integrates dermatology, microbiology, microbiome, omics, bioinformatics, and immunology to examine host-microbe/microbiome interactions of the skin in health and disease.
We are an interdisciplinary and highly collaborative team of post-doctoral fellows, graduate students, and technical staff.
We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our research program and its members.
