We’re excited to announce that our laboratory is leading a special issue in Microorganisms journal focusing on the intersection of climate change and the human microbiome. Dr. Zanos and Dr. Onisiforou are serving as Guest Editors for this initiative.
Our special issue aims to explore how environmental changes affect human-associated microbial communities and their subsequent impact on public health. We welcome submissions examining various aspects of this relationship, from direct effects on microbial ecosystems to broader public health implications.
Key research areas include:
- Climate effects on human microbiomes (gut, skin, oral, respiratory)
- Emerging infectious diseases
- Environmental factors and microbial community dynamics
- Diet-microbiome interactions in climate-affected populations
- Microbiome adaptation and therapeutic potential
The submission deadline is November 30, 2025. For questions about potential submissions or collaboration opportunities, please reach out to our team.
