Erez Cohen

Postdoc at The University of Michigan, Coulombe Lab - studying keratin's role in the cellular response to stress. Father of 3, Drosophila enthusiast.

[PC Project @Pachyonychia]

We were excited to listen to Erez Cohen, a post-doctoral fellow, give his presentation, “Keratin 16 spatially inhibits type 1 interferon responses in stressed and diseased skin” on the big stage at the Society for Investigative Dermatology Meeting. This ground-breaking work, done in Professor Pierre Coulombe’s lab, is leading to new avenues to explore for PC treatment options. Thanks to all who donate to PC Project so we can fund this cutting-edge research!

Writing this piece was fun and made me realized that a "celebration mindset" is a successful strategy that is backed by sociology and psychology research ! A 🧵 https://t.co/DkFbQYufBy

[FoxLabNC @FoxLabNC]

Our lab celebrated 13 years today! So lucky to have a consistently great group of current and former lab members to work with.

Congratulations to Yang (who's also defending her PhD today!) and the team. Proud to have taken a part in this really cool story looking at neutrophils recruitment to the skin, and the role of stress-keratin K17 in the process!

[PLOS Biology @PLOSBiology]

During chronic #inflammatory diseases, how are neutrophils recruited to inflamed #skin? @PierreCoulombe8 @parentclab &co show that repeated acute stress to the skin amplifies a #neutrophil infiltration response involving keratin 17 & PKCα #PLOSBiology https://t.co/v3CuxIS37R
