Soliciting applications for multiple postdoc fellowships on collaborative mouse/human projects with Szczot Lab aimed at understanding how the nervous system creates and modulates perceptions linked to the activation of fast-conducting nociceptors. Please help spread the word.🙏

We are hiring! Postdoc positions in human/rodent multi-lab. We aim to understand pain and touch by dissecting peripheral neurons types and their downstream circuitry. Truly interdisciplinary research at Linköping Uni, Sweden. DM for details. RT nature.com/naturecareers/… Join us!

Welcomes and goodbyes. We say farewell to fabulous summer student Batuhan Yağan, and greet visiting scientist Kasia Terejko from Łukasiewicz – PORT and bachelor student Christoffer Karlsson. Good company!

Final tweet from Stockholm. Thanks to my colleagues and family who came along. Also massive gratitude to Bosse (driver) and Isabell (attache), our dream team of support and our new friends! Finally, grateful to everyone who put together the epic The Nobel Prize celebrations

The time has come to say goodbye to our fantastic visiting postdoc Kasia Terejko from Łukasiewicz – PORT. It was amazing to have you here in CSAN. Enjoy your complimentary Swedish herring and best of luck!

Our group’s first effort towards understanding the role of septum in stress induced analgesia. Please let us know what you think. We thank @iisc and the funders DBT/WT India Alliance and SERB without who this work would not have been possible.

Incredible work to understand human sensory neuron diversity. Beautiful tour de force linking human physiology with transcriptomic predictions. Including Linköpings finest håkan olausson Saad Nagi and twitterless Otmane Bouchatta. LiU-Neuro CSAN

Thank you so much, Claudio Cantù and Francisca Lottersberger, for inviting me to the party! It's been an absolute thrill discussing science and career aspirations with the incredible group at WCMM. Really cool crowd.

Mechanosensation is directly linked with reproductive health. Our new study, led by Ruby Lam, uses human genetics, imaging, and behavior to uncover how PIEZO2 and specialized perineal touch neurons influence sexual function. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Szczot Lab hosted rising star Ruby Lam at CSAN for a day of fine science and dining. Learned about Piezo2's role in sex and tried castoreum flavored Swedish schnapps. Good times. Ruby Lam Szczot Lab

Marcin Marcin Szczot Szczot Lab explains is how to discover the orgin of different types of pain 😩😖😣😥 SciLifeLab KAW

Szczot Lab is coming to #SfN2023 along with a strong suit of CSAN-ers! CSAN Come say hi and learn about Piezo2 in human nociception from the poster Gabriela Carballo will present on Tuesday! Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Society for Neuroscience Events #SfN23

May I not-so-humble-brag about this 😀 I got a Fernström prize, which goes to 1 scientist under 45 from each of the 6 medical faculties of Sweden per year. Very grateful for the distinction. It was my 1st time to have had a 🎺trumpet fanfare🎺 follow my speech about ion channels!

Just out our new research paper! We identify PIEZO2-dependent rapid pain system in humans and mice. The work led jointly by Otmane Bouchatta and Marek Brodzki in a close-knit joint effort of Saad Nagi and Szczot Lab groups. 🧵 1/10 👇doi.org/10.1101/2023.1…

Our study on PIEZO2-dependent rapid pain is now on biorXiv! Exciting collaboration with Otmane Bouchatta, Saad Nagi and many others. I'm thrilled to see this out, it has been a great journey through many fascinating discoveries. Dig into the tweetorial and enjoy the study!

Preprint alert! We've identified a PIEZO2-dependent rapid pain system in humans and mice. Dive into the thread for details! 👇

Thank you New Scientist for looking into our work, magnificent graphics and coining our lab future catchphrase 'blame your myelinated nociceptors' newscientist.com/article/mg2633…

Fantastic study revealing spectacular diversity of human DRG neurons combining single-cell RNA sequencing data with functional investigations using microneurography. Congratulations to all authors!
