Thanks to the continuous efforts from the research teams in Sunway University (especially the Sunway Microbiome Centre) and Monash University Malaysia, I'm honored to be invited as Guest Advisor to host an Article Collection on "Exploring the Gut-Skin Axis: Implications for Health and Dermatology" in Gut Microbes 🎊🎉 (IF: 12.2, Citescore:14.4), a highly reputable journal by Taylor & Francis, which provides a platform for presenting and discussing cutting-edge research on all aspects of microorganisms populating the intestine.

This Article Collection focused on the gut-skin axis, an emerging area of research in dermatology and gastroenterology, has garnered significant attention in recent years. This axis represents the intricate interplay between the gastrointestinal system and the skin, highlighting the notion that the health of our gut may have profound implications for the condition of our skin.

We invite researchers, clinicians, and experts in dermatology, gastroenterology, microbiology, and immunology to contribute their valuable insights and findings to our collection, providing innovative solutions for improving skin health and overall well-being.
