https://www.linkedin.com/in/noor-ul-huda-ghori-4155a18a/Dr Noor Ul Huda Ghori has done her PhD in microbial ecology and microbial interactions at UWA. She now works as a postdoctoral researcher at The Kids Research Institute Australia and UWA understanding the role of microbiome in health and disease. Her research interest is to develop microbiome-based therapeutics for normal skin barrier function which can be applied to solve several skin conditions in children including, underdeveloped preterm infant skin, dermatitis, impetigo, and wound healing. Dr. Ghori has presented her research at several local and international forums and has received awards for it.

Skin-Microbiome Assembly in Preterm Infants during the First Three Weeks of Life and Impact of Topical Coconut Oil Application
The structure and function of infant skin is not fully developed until 34 weeks of gestation, and this immaturity is associated with risk of late-onset sepsis (LOS). Topical coconut oil improves preterm-infant skin integrity and may reduce LOS. However, data on early-life skin-microbiome succession and potential effects of emollient skin care in preterm infants are scarce.
