Updates on skin inflammation research in Ireland, specifically #HidradenitisSuppurativa (acne inversa) and #Psoriasis. Tweets by @APetrasca

[Skin Research Ireland @Skin_Research]

We had a strong representation from our group at #BSI25 including two talks and a poster presentation. Dr Fletcher was invited to speak on the role of IL-1b in HS. Dr Petrasca gave a talk on the role of gd T cells in early HS. Dr Smith spoke about innate immune cell dysregulation

Huge thanks to @britsocimm for the chance to present at #BSI25 in the "Immunology gets under the skin" session. Our group gave 3 presentations, including an excellent invited talk from our PI, Jean Fletcher! 🙌
An excellent @bsicongress filled with amazing science! #immunology

Huge congrats to @dannyjohnston2 🤩who has been successful in this year’s FHS Dean’s Awards 🏆for his proposal “Multi-omic mapping of tissue vulnerability to understand the initiating events of the inflammatory skin disease" 👏 #hidradenitissuppurativa @hsireland1 @TrinityMed1

[Danny Johnston @DannyJohnston2]

Delighted that our infographic has made the COVER of the November edition of the @BrJDermatol!

Well done to Ciara and all the other authors, we hope our piece in the potential of inflammasome inhibition in #hidradenitissuppurativa is stimulating!

Really grateful to be able to speak at #MucosalImmunology2024 and share some of our data on #hidradenitissuppurativa .

Big thanks to @abcam, @Lo_Zanzi and the organisers, @britsocimm for the funding to and to the attendees and speakers for all the great talks and feedback!

We had a great opportunity to engage with the public and raise much-needed awareness for #HidradenitisSuppurativa at this year's #EuropeanResearchersNight in @tcddublin @Smith96conor @APetrasca

[Andreea Petrasca, PhD @APetrasca]

It was amazing to see such a big turnout at this year's #EuropeanResearchersNight in @tcdtbsi @tcddublin on Friday! Hope we've inspired many future scientists! #research

[Andreea Petrasca, PhD @APetrasca]

Come along to learn about Immunology and #HidradenitisSuppurativa. It's a great chance to meet @tcddublin researchers and find out what we do! #publicoutreach @Smith96conor @Skin_Research

[Conor Smith @Smith96conor]

Come join us on September 27th and play our #HS themed escape room! Learn about HS, what we’re doing to try better understand the disease and how we try identify new treatments for people with HS!
#EuropeanResearchersNight

[Conor Smith @Smith96conor]

Delighted to present some of my recent work at #ECI2024 and it was great to see HS get the interest it deserves at immunology conferences! Some really great presentations on HS over the 3 days! @Skin_Research @hsireland1 @APetrasca @DannyJohnston2

[Andreea Petrasca, PhD @APetrasca]

From poster session straight to chairing session. And the sun is shining over Dublin. An exciting last day of the #ECI204 @EFIS_Immunology

[UCB US @UCBUSA]

We are proud to stand with the #HS community and work towards bridging gaps in the management and awareness of this disease. To kick off #HSAwarenessWeek, our colleagues came together for a special Town Hall, where we had the honor of learning from those directly impacted by HS.

[Trinity College Dublin @tcddublin]

Researchers from @TrinityMed1 have explored the use of extremely rare immune cells to predict how well treatments work for chronic spontaneous urticaria or #recurringhives in a recently published study in the journal Allergy. #researchMATTERS

Do you have #HidradenitisSuppurativa?
Are you living in Ireland or the UK?

Meet online with and learn from other people with HS (#pwHS) and medical specialists in these upcoming support and information meetings.

Next speaker: consultant dermatologist Dr John Ingram (Cardiff).

[Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) Ireland @hsireland1]

The 13th Annual European Hidradenitis Suppurativa Foundation Conference (#EHSF2024) is taking place in Lyon, France currently.

Some 700 #HidradenitisSuppurativa #HS specialists from 51 countries around the globe have gathered for this 3-day event to share information and learn.

[Skin Research Ireland @Skin_Research]

Dr Conor Smith @Smith96conor, at #EHSF2024 showing that distinct fibroblast subsets are responsible for inflammation and scarring in #HidradenitisSuppurativa. While anti-TNF therapy reduced fibroblast-mediated inflammation it did not dampen scar formation.

[Skin Research Ireland @Skin_Research]

Lots of representation from Ireland at this year's Conference of the European Hidradenitis Suppurativa Foundation: 6 talks & 6 posters #EHSF2024 #HidradenitisSuppurativa

[Skin Research Ireland @Skin_Research]

Thank you for sharing our study by @APetrasca et al looking into the effects of metformin in HS. Many thanks to Dr Barry McGrath @hsireland1 for writing the plain language summary for our paper in @BrJDermatol

[Conor Smith @Smith96conor]

Delighted to get the opportunity to present some of my data on #HidradenitisSuppurativa at the Bright Sparks and the Fibrosis sessions at #BSI23! @Skin_Research @hsireland1 @tcdTBSI @bsicongress
