Gut Microbiome and Alopecia Areata

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12 , 2026 4PM PDT/ 6PM CDT/ 7PM EDT

Did you know that the trillions of bacteria and other microorganisms that live in your digestive system may play an important role in your overall health and immune system? Researchers are beginning to explore whether the gut microbiome could also be connected to autoimmune diseases, including alopecia areata.

Join Maria Hordinsky, MD,  Angela Christiano, PhD,  and Javed Shaik, PhD as they discuss the latest research on the relationship between the gut microbiome and alopecia areata. Learn why scientists are studying this connection, what they hope to discover, and how this research may help us better understand alopecia areata in the future.

Whether you’re living with alopecia areata, caring for someone who is, or simply interested in the latest research, this webinar will provide an easy-to-understand overview of this exciting and emerging area of study.
