معرفی
Hyung Chun is an Associate Professor at Yale School of Medicine, affiliated with the Department of Internal Medicine and the Cardiovascular Medicine section. He leads the Chun Lab and is actively engaged in research on vascular biology, endothelial dysfunction, and cardiometabolic diseases.
Education:
- MD, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (2002)
- BA in Biochemical Sciences, Harvard University (1995)
- Visiting Scholar, University of Cambridge (2017)
- Chief Fellow, Stanford University (2009)
- Fellowship and Residency, Stanford University (2009, 2004)
Research Interests: Dr. Chun's research spans cardiovascular diseases, endothelial biology, and metabolic regulation. His work investigates molecular pathways such as apelin-APJ signaling, microRNA regulation in vascular maturation, and endothelial-mesenchymal transition. Recent studies focus on endothelial dysfunction in severe infections like COVID-19, including coagulopathy and neutrophil activation.
Publication Trends: His recent publications (2012–2022) reveal a consistent focus on endothelial signaling in both developmental and pathological contexts. Key themes include microRNA-mediated regulation, vascular remodeling in pulmonary hypertension, and the role of endotheliopathy in systemic diseases like diabetes and viral infections.
Scientific Awards:
- Cloisters Scholar
- HHMI Fellow
- Fellow of the American Heart Association
- Member, American Society for Clinical Investigation
Advising and Grants: While specific students and grants are not listed, Dr. Chun leads an active research lab with frequent collaborations across Yale, suggesting strong mentorship and external funding. His affiliations with the Pulmonary Vascular Disease Program and Yale Ventures indicate translational research engagement.
Labs and Teams: Dr. Chun directs the Chun Lab and is affiliated with the Pulmonary Vascular Disease Program at Yale. He collaborates extensively with researchers in cardiovascular medicine, hematology, and immunology, including Dr. Christine Won, Dr. Alexander Pine, and Dr. George Goshua.
