Dr. Cory Simpson Wins Innovation Pilot Award

Congratulations to Cory Simpson, MD, PhD, FAAD, whose recent proposal has been selected to receive a $50,000 Innovation Pilot Award (IPA) from the University of Washington’s Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine (ISCRM). Funding from this award will support the Simpson Lab’s ongoing research in epidermal differentiation and how it is compromised in dermatologic disease.

“I am really honored and grateful to have been selected by ISCRM for this award, which will directly support my basic science research program in dermatology. This type of early investment in new labs like mine is absolutely critical to obtaining additional external grants to support our long-term goals of better understanding genetic skin disorders and identifying new treatment approaches.” – Dr. Cory Simpson

Dr. Simpson is the Principal Investigator for the Simpson Lab, a new wet lab at the University of Washington specializing in skin regeneration, repair and imaging. The Simpson Lab is located at the UW Medicine South Lake Union (SLU) Campus amidst an innovative biomedical research hub in Seattle.
