Overview

Salomé LeibundGut-Landmann is affiliated with the University of Zurich in Switzerland, focusing primarily on medical research with a strong emphasis on epidemiology, infectious diseases, dermatology, immunology, and pharmacology. Their work investigates the complex interactions between fungal organisms and the human immune system, often addressing both commensal and pathogenic aspects of fungi in human health.

The main research topics covered by their publications include:

  • Nail Diseases and Treatments
  • Antifungal resistance and susceptibility
  • Dermatology and Skin Diseases
  • Fungal Infections and Studies
  • Fungal Biology and Applications
  • Bee Products Chemical Analysis
  • T-cell and B-cell Immunology

LeibundGut-Landmann frequently publishes in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), European Journal of Immunology, Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Mucosal Immunology, and Medical Mycology. This range of journals reflects a cross-disciplinary approach, linking immunology with microbiology and dermatology.

Among recent scientific contributions are several notable papers:

  • The impact of the Fungus-Host-Microbiota interplay upon Candida albicans infections: current knowledge and new perspectives (2020), FEMS Microbiology Reviews
  • Malassezia: A Commensal, Pathogen, and Mutualist of Human and Animal Skin (2022), Annual Review of Microbiology
  • Tissue-resident memory Th17 cells maintain stable fungal commensalism in the oral mucosa (2020), Mucosal Immunology
  • Candida albicans-specific Th17 cell-mediated response contributes to alcohol-associated liver disease (2023), Cell Host & Microbe
  • Candida albicans commensalism in the oral mucosa is favoured by limited virulence and metabolic adaptation (2022), PLoS Pathogens

LeibundGut-Landmann's frequent co-authors, with whom multiple collaborations have been recorded, include:

  • Fiorella Ruchti
  • Ricardo Fróis-Martins
  • Christophe d'Enfert
  • Burkhard Becher
  • Giuseppe Ianiri

Their research contributions lie at the intersection of fungal biology and immunology, investigating fungal-host interactions, immune cell responses such as those mediated by Th17 cells, and how fungal biology impacts human diseases ranging from skin conditions to systemic effects including liver disease related to fungal immune responses.
