I love the Olympics! And after #TeamGB got a bronze medal in the synchronised diving this morning I went into town and saw a knitted @TomDaley1994 postbox topper…of him knitting. Great day!! @TeamGB

We are THRILLED to have been ranked 2nd in the world and 1st in the UK and Europe in this year's QS @worlduniranking! 🎊🥳 #QSWUR

Thank you to everyone in #OurImperial community for making this result possible! 💙

Excited about hearing Prof Mat Hardman @UniOfHull talk at the London Skin Club next week…an intriguing title for what promises to be a great talk #londonskinclub #woundhealing

[Higgins Lab @HigginsBioeng]

@Jack_Hayes2 and I have written a commentary on a publication from earlier this year, which challenged the current dogma and showed that intrinsic properties of foot skin contribute to slow healing observed after plantar injury @theJIDJournal https://t.co/qzWOgd8za6 #woundhealing

It’s my work anniversary … tin. Can’t believe I’ve been at Imperial, in the wonderful @ImperialBioeng for 10 years! Time has flown by 🥂

[Higgins Lab @HigginsBioeng]

This publication has been several years in the making and I am so excited it is now published :-). We found that mechanical and chemical stimuli elicit differential modifications in chromatin accessibility, in dermal papilla vs papillary fibroblasts @NickPantelireis @KrysiaBroda

[JBMRPlus @JBMRPlus]

Results from a new #JBMR Plus article suggest that two stimuli (OMSW) elicit cell-specific responses by modifying chromatin accessibility of osteogenic related gene promoters @HigginsBioeng @OUPMedicine

📢 Please join our group! We have a fully-funded PhD opening (October 2024 start) on computational modelling of skin microbiome in wound healing. Do you have a biomath background and want to learn more about skin microbiome? Then it is for you 🤩 Application due 6 June.

[Higgins Lab @HigginsBioeng]

Are you looking for a PhD to conduct computational modelling and in vitro work assessing how microbiome impacts wound healing. Look no further as we have a fully funded position available for an Oct’24 start date. https://t.co/p5otq4rqRK @TanakaGroup @AlmquistLab @ImperialBioeng

While I have bronchitis and couldn’t attend the #BSID2024, I couldn’t be more proud of my group for representing the Higgins lab in my absence. Special mention to @arhodes2000 who received the best poster prize for her PhD work #sensoryneurons #hairfollicle #serotonin @HashemiLab

[Higgins Lab @HigginsBioeng]

Sad that I’m missing the #BSID2024 but happy that my group is well represented with 7 members present. If you are there, go to their posters to find out what the Higgins lab is working on #hairresearch #skinsensation #amputeeskinhealth #woundhealing #scleroderma @HealthySkin4All

Just like that it’s all over. Had a great time at #WCHR2024 with @arhodes2000 who gave an amazing talk. The solar eclipse was spectacular. So glad we got to see it and the clouds moved out of the way for the crucial 4 minutes. Looking forward to the next meeting in Seoul now.

Looking forward to seeing friends and colleagues at the #WCHR2024 in Dallas in April. I will be cochairing the Hair Microenvironment session with @rendlm @RendlLab. Has anyone got any tips on how to choose a good Stetson…I want to get one for the Texas hoedown themed gala 👩‍🌾🎉🤠
