Our paper showing epithelial cells measure electrical potential to decide which ones to eliminate by extrusion came out today in Nature.
The weakest link: how cells use electricity to eliminate their neighbours to maintain healthy barriers @TheCrick https://t.co/NJdidHdCrS
Hero alert. My amazing colleague Carola Vinuesa used Science to get a wrongfully imprisoned woman freed after 20 years. The culprit: a mutation

Thrilled & incredibly honoured to receive a @wellcometrust Early-Career Award! 🙌
Can't wait to start my research on how epithelial tissues maintain homeostasis at @TheCrick, @KingsCollegeLon & the @RosenblattLab! 🧪🔬🐟
Stay tuned - I’ll be hiring soon!
Check out our recent review with Paul Martin & Gisli Jenkins on how imperfect wound healing can set the stage for disease, discussing how environment and general wear and tear we accumulate with age contributes to many diseases. https://t.co/DqngdHs8Ia

This paper is remarkable showing hope for RNAi based vaccines--no T cells and B cells are needed. Just good old innate immunity lasting at least 90 days.
