Jessica Ayers Wins Young Investigator Collegiality Award

Congratulations to Jessica Ayers, a PhD student in the Simpson Lab, who was selected to receive a Young Investigator Collegiality Award from the Society for Investigative Dermatology. This award will support her travel to the 2026 ESDR meeting in Heidelberg, Germany in September. We are excited that Jessica will also get to visit the Blizard Institute at Queen Mary University of London to meet other scientists working on rare skin diseases. We are looking forward to presenting our lab's work on novel therapeutic strategies for Hailey-Hailey disease at this exciting and collaborative international meeting.
