Super proud of this work from my lab that has great translational potential and can fundamentally change how we treat skin diseases.

UBC researchers have developed the first gene-editing treatment for skin conditions.
Safe, scalable and easy to apply topically, explore how the gene therapy could transform the treatment of skin disorders: news.ubc.ca/2026/01/first-ge…

Organ-on-a-chip technologies can serve as models of #HumanBiology. @milicaruoft will begin a 3⃣-year stint at #mdcBerlin to take on the challenge of growing them with #vasculature.
Join us for her MDC-Lecture "Engineering Vascularized Organs-on-a-Chip" 👇

Our paper describing the development of the very first small molecule inhibitor of TSLP is out in @EmboMolMed : lnkd.in/d9Q3BP36
TSLP is a key driver of atopic diseases & and our highly effective anti-TSLP compound can pave the way to novel anti-inflammatory treatments.

To verify its efficacy & safety, we developed an entirely human-based atopic diseases drug discovery platform which also has a wide application range in the context of atopic diseases. Congratulations to all collaborators & particularly Partho Adhikary who led this project.
