We’re thrilled to see our artistic rendition of the keratin intermediate filament cytoskeleton highlighted on the cover of @Dev_Cell along with our paper! cell.com/developmental-…

New paper from @SimpsonLabUW @DermatologyUW is online @JCI_insight🍾We found ERK hyperactivation disrupts cell-cell adhesion in epidermis, linked this pathway to both drug-induced & spontaneous Grover disease & identified MEK inhibition as a novel therapy: insight.jci.org/articles/view/…

I'm excited to announce that I am on the job market for tenure-track Assistant Professor positions in cell biology, with a focus on the integrated roles of keratin filaments and organelle biology! Please feel free to reach out, share/RT🔁!

Excited to share our review @theJIDJournal on #blistering disorders #Darier #HaileyHailey & #Grover disease. All cause acantholysis/severing of #desmosomes w/epidermal "breaks" but have no approved Tx. We explore pathogenic mechanisms & novel Tx strategies jidonline.org/article/S0022-…

Incredibly proud to announce that @JessicaLeeAyers passed her General Exam @UWM3D @UWMedicine to officially become the 1st PhD candidate from @SimpsonLabUW. Thanks to @DermatologyUW for celebrating with us!🥳🍾🥂👩‍🔬🧫🔬

Headed home from @SocInvestDerm mtg #SID2024. To say I’m proud of this grp isn’t enough. They represented @SimpsonLabUW @UWISCRM @DermatologyUW so well. Three talks delivered w/such precision & poise (meanwhile I was a nervous wreck). Handled questions like pros #ProudPI #LuckyPI

If you know anyone afflicted by @RareDiseases you know how difficult it is. Even worse when treatment is denied by @CMSGov. During appeals, which are often rejected, diseases can have irreversible consequences. Ask your Rep to support the PROTECT Rare Act: votervoice.net/HaystackProjec…

The Nanes Lab is opening this Fall at @UTSWDerm and the Green Center for Systems Biology @LHBioinf_UTSW. We’re recruiting! Be on the lookout for official job postings soon. lab.nanes.org

Ecstatic to share our work from @SimpsonLabUW @DermatologyUW @UWMedicine published & on the cover @JCI_insight! This paper describes our model of #Darier disease using #CRISPR in human #keratinocytes & #organoid #epidermis w/RNAseq+proteomics finding MEK as a potential Tx target.

To enter the raffle for Dr. Nelson's new book, either retweet this tweet or email us at topicalpod@gmail.com. We'll randomly select 3 winners and send you a copy. Limited to domestic US and Canada only (sorry!!!). amazon.com/Dermatology-St…

Thrilled to share the 1st @SimpsonLabUW research publication online @JCI_insight. We generated a pre-clinical model of Darier disease, a rare genetic skin blistering disorder that I see in my clinic and for which there are no FDA-approved therapies (1/7) insight.jci.org/articles/view/…

Kudos to lab members @ZaverShivam & Afua Tiwaa and many thanks to our amazing collaborator labs @briancapell @PennMedicine and Johann Gudjonsson @umichmedicine. Thanks also to @PennSbdrc @NIH_NIAMS @UWISCRM for supporting our lab to do this work @UWMedicine @DermatologyUW (7/7).

an MD/PhD starting clinical rotations

Congrats to Reteeka for representing ⁦@SimpsonLabUW⁩ ⁦@DermatologyUW⁩ at UW Undergraduate Research Symposium! Busy poster w/lots of interest in #dermatology research on using #AI to analyze microscopy images of keratinocyte differentiation & epidermal pathology 🤩🔬

@michi_shinohara Congratulations, Professor Shinohara ☺️

Fantastic talk @ISID2023Tokyo from @UWM3D student Jess Ayers representing @SimpsonLabUW @DermatologyUW. Exciting to present our new cell/organoid model of Hailey-Hailey disease that we hope will lead to better understanding & treatment of @RareDiseases. #ISID2023Tokyo #ProudPI 🤩

Thank you Dr. @jbullockruns for changing the narrative on this important issue. @UWMedicine.

Great reporting adds to overwhelming evidence that @Cigna & other insurers inappropriately delay/deny care. Claims denied in batches without even being read. "Over a period of 2 mos last yr, @Cigna docs denied >300,000 requests...spending an avg of 1.2 seconds on each." propublica.org/article/cigna-…

So excited to share: @ZaverShivam matched #dermatology @PennMedicine. Shiv’s been an awesome member of @SimpsonLabUW. In just a yr, he took a project from prelim data to a full paper. Congratulations! My #derm residency alma mater is so lucky🍀 to match you! #ProudPI 🤩 #MatchDay
