He said that Belkaid has made "made exceptional contributions to immunology, and studies related to the role of microbes in enhancing immunity and preventing diseases".
Her studies have significantly advanced the understanding of the relationship between microbes and the immune system, highlighting the role of skin-resident microbes in enhancing immune defences.
Her research demonstrated how specific skin microbes act as a frontline defence, improving immune readiness against infections.
Professor Belkaid's work also focuses on understanding the mechanisms behind chronic diseases associated with microbiome imbalances and has contributed to the development of effective preventive and therapeutic strategies.
