🚨Please share: We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow to join our group to study the mechanisms of Merkel cell regeneration and sensory perception. Check out the job announcement👇

Latest paper from the lab in which we examine calcium dynamics in tissue-resident macrophages of the skin is now online at MBoC @ASCBiology ... Congratulations to Pearl (1st first-author paper) and @errricpeterman (1st senior-author paper)!

Many thanks to the LEO Foundation (@LEOFondet) for supporting our work on the cell biology of skin immune cells!

Thanks for the amazing visit to @RiceUniversity @gliainmymind Looking forward to all the great things to come from your lab!

In the mood to be amazed? Here's the immune cell response to a scratch in the zebrafish epidermis. bit.ly/3Rr11SL Photo Cred: Dr. Eric Peterman

Go ahead and vote for the gorgeous @DMM_Journal cover image of #zebrafish epidermal nerves and immune cells from @errricpeterman 👇👀

Never underestimate the mood-elevating power of a totally unexpected, unsolicited word of sincere praise for someone who might need it than they even realize. It could be a paper you read, a talk you attended, a podcast you listened to. Write a short note. Make their day.

Latest preprint from the lab! Our work implicates ROCK signaling as a key modulator of Langerhans cell morphology, dynamics, and plasticity in response to various types of skin damage. Check out @errricpeterman’s movie of Lifeact-GFP in a Langerhans cell 👇biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am honored to have been selected as a 2023 Searle Scholar! On a related note, we are looking to recruit a postdoc and/or grad student. If you're interested in studying cell type evolution in annual killifish, please email me (contact information at abitua.org).

Langerhans #cells – a type of #immune cell – clear debris from damaged #nerve cells in injured #skin. #zebrafish Video & research by @errricpeterman et al @jraslab lab @UWBiology in @DMM_Journal @Co_Biologists. More on bpod.mrc.ac.uk/archive/2023/6… with @MRC_LMS

@vaughandy Well deserved! Congrats @vaughandy

I just received notification of my promotion to Associate Professor with Tenure. I am beyond grateful to stay on here at Penn and keep working with such wonderful colleagues. Most importantly, this would not have happened without my wonderful lab members. They are the best!

@DMM_Journal Thank you for helping promote our work ! @DMM_Journal @errricpeterman

Happy #MostReadMonday! Let's celebrate our newest blockbuster from @jraslab &team that shows axon engulfment in injured #zebrafish skin: 📰journals.biologists.com/dmm/article/16…

Congrats to @errricpeterman on getting the cover of the current issue of @DMM_Journal. This is also the first lab cover image! Link to his paper here: doi.org/10.1242/dmm.04…

We're looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join our group in UW Seattle. We're funded to work on signaling and synthetic biology of plant cell surface receptors 🧬🌱🐛 Details attached -- please RT!

@errricpeterman @Cgoo_8 The one lab meme to rule them all!

@SiekmannLab @ElvinLeonard3 Congrats, beautiful work!

Happy to announce that our latest paper on fin blood vessel development is online now: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/do… Congratulations to @ElvinLeonard3 and Sana S. Hasan for the amazing work!

Our #MidweekMovie show mpeg1+ Langerhans cells engulfing debris during axon degeneration. @errricpeterman @jraslab @UWBiology, et al. present a new model for studying axon degeneration with high spatiotemporal resolution. 📖@DMM_journal: journals.biologists.com/dmm/article/16…

My caretakers told me I'm at 100% bloom. Just doing my best for y'all. 🌸 #UWcherryblossoms
