Proud of med student Rafael Homer whose summer research project @SimpsonLabUW @DermatologyUW won 2nd place in the @uwsomwwami Wyoming site poster competition! Rafael also won a travel award to attend the Western Medical Research Conference & was chosen for an oral presentation🤩

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/vie…

Very proud of Akshata for representing @SimpsonLabUW @DermatologyUW at the @UWISCRM Fall Symposium. She did a great job at her 1st poster session explaining her work developing quantitative methods to assess our model of #HaileyHailey disease, a rare #skin #blistering disorder.

We were sad to bid farewell to Rafael Homer, rising 2nd-year med student (left), who joined @SimpsonLabUW @DermatologyUW for the summer from the Laramie, Wyoming campus of @uwsomwwami @UWMedicine. Thanks for your work on a project to improve our understanding of #Darier disease.

Grateful for an @american_skin1 grant to support our work @SimpsonLabUW @DermatologyUW to understand how #keratinocytes mature via #autophagy to form the outer skin layers and how this is disrupted in thick, scaly #psoriasis plaques (image from DermNetNZ). americanskin.org/news/pr_202…

Excited to share our paper @theJIDJournal w/@JennyNathans @JShendure reviewing how DNA barcoding can map cell lineages in skin development/cancer & how CRISPR-based DNA Typewriter can be used as a molecular tape-recorder to log biological signals in vivo.
