THE ROLE OF GUT MICROBIOME IN RESPIRATORY IMMUNE HEALTH

Prof. Liam O’Mahony received his BSc in Microbiology from University College Cork, Ireland in 1994 and his PhD in Immunology was awarded in 1998 by Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. Thereafter, Dr. O’Mahony performed post-doctoral research at the Department of Microbiology, University College Cork, Department of Medicine, University College Cork, the Digestive Diseases Division, UCLA, and the Alimentary Pharmabiotic Centre, University College Cork. From 2009 to 2018, he was head of Molecular Immunology at the Swiss Institute of Allergy and Asthma Research, University of Zürich, Switzerland.

He is currently the Prof. of Immunology at the Department of Medicine, School of Microbiology, APC Microbiome Ireland, National University of Ireland, Cork, Ireland. He co-chairs EAACI guideline development panels in immunonutrition and environmental effects on immune health. He also is an Allergy journal editor. His research interests are focused on the molecular basis for microbe and metabolite modulation of mucosal inflammatory responses. In particular, Prof. O’Mahony is investigating the basic mechanisms by which microbes influence allergic sensitization and host responses to viral infection.
