Description:	Demystifying Medicine Lecture Series How do virus and other pathogens penetrate the fortress that is human skin? What tricks do they use to slip past the guards? How do they compromise the immune system, and how do they take advantage of and reveal inherited immunodeficiency? These are the topics of the next Demystifying Medicine. Philip Murphy, M.D., is chief of the NIAID Laboratory of Molecular Immunology and its Molecular Signaling Section. His laboratory studies G protein-coupled receptors of the immune system with the goal of elucidating mechanisms by which the receptors relay chemotactic signals to cells and identifying their exact physiologic roles both in immunoregulation and in immunologically mediated disease. Heidi Kong, M.D., is a senior investigator in the NIAMS Dermatology Branch and head of its Cutaneous Microbiome and Inflammation Section. She has dedicated her research to investigating the skin microbes in patients with inflammatory skin diseases and in healthy individuals. Her translational studies ask clinical questions related to the skin microbiome in atopic dermatitis and immunodeficiency.
