Led by graduate student Ellie Lesko, who is now with @bostonsci, we were interested to know more about how AIRE deficiency influences non-melanoma skin cancer development.

[Ryan Hobbs @HobbsDermLab]

@bostonsci By backcrossing the Aire null allele onto the tumor-permissive FVB mouse strain, we found that AIRE-deficient mice developed fewer and smaller skin papillomas. Surprisingly, these papillomas also underwent spontaneous regression!

@Xupeng_Hong @PennStHershey Congrats, Xupeng! A well deserved honor!

[Navaneetha Bharathan, PhD @genehackrman]

I'll be attending my first ever ASCB #CellBio2022 meeting! If you'd like to chat about #desmosomes and #KeratinFilaments, and their surprising relationship with the #EndoplasmicReticulum, come over to poster P2924 on Tuesday, Dec 6th!

AN UPDATE -- Marketing & Communications for the Penn State College of Medicine has made a change to move to a standard of using first and last names followed by their credentials when referring to any MD, DO, or PhD. Glad to see that such a simple fix could be quickly adopted.

[Ryan Hobbs @HobbsDermLab]

A disappointment at the least. A macroaggression at the most. Our marketing policy must change if we want to back up our claim of valuing our researchers and their discoveries.

[Kowalczyk Lab @CellJxn]

Our Dept is hosting an important session on microaggressions. We will have a diverse panel, including Dr. Ryan Hobbs, a PhD faculty member in the college. But because Dr. Hobbs is a PhD and not MD, he’s listed by our college communications team as simply “Ryan”. Message received.

2022 #PSUDermatology Research Day was a great success! Learned so much from our trainees, faculty, and awesome Visiting Professor @richintuition, who was also up for a hike to the Appalachian Trail before heading home to @UTSWDerm! @StahleyLab @CellJxn @PennStHershey @PSUresearch

[Ryan Hobbs @HobbsDermLab]

From Aire loss to hair loss -- I am so proud of this study led by Natella Maglakelidze, a soon-to-be thesis defending MD/PhD student! The story is an excellent example of the scientific method in action. So many new ideas to now pursue! https://t.co/9MME1p7YJT

Postdoc opportunity for the cutaneous minded! - in Seattle

[Simpson Lab @UWMedicine @SimpsonLabUW]

We are #hiring! Excited to #recruit a #postdoc research fellow to work w/us @DermatologyUW @UWMedicine. Our lab is located @ the lovely #SouthLakeUnion campus in #Seattle, where we benefit from amazing resources & collab opportunities w/@UWISCRM. Join us! https://t.co/zdNwZIgffx

@genehackrman I spent some time designing a construct (in silico) to knock in GFP in frame at the endogenous locus. It isn't all that difficult in theory, but I never got around to ordering it and actually testing in cells.

[Ryan Hobbs @HobbsDermLab]

Any suggestions on this would be welcomed by me too!

[Navaneetha Bharathan, PhD @genehackrman]

Does anyone have good recommendations for a protocol or resource for using CRISPR to fluorescently tag an endogenous protein in human/ mammalian cells? TIA!

[Ryan Hobbs @HobbsDermLab]

@aayushi_uberoi @WilenLab Lol. Zotero is easy to pick up. You won't regret it 😉
