Peggy Myung, MD, PhD, is Associate Professor of Dermatology and Pathology at Yale School of Medicine. She serves as Vice Chair of Research in Dermatology and leads the Myung Lab, which investigates hair follicle development, regeneration, and skin carcinogenesis. She is affiliated with the Yale Cancer Center, Yale Stem Cell Center, and the Program in Translational Biomedicine (PTB). Department: Dermatology (Primary), Pathology (Secondary) Academic Rank: Associate Professor Institution: Yale University School: Yale School of Medicine Email: peggy.myung@yale.edu Research Interests: Dr. Myung's research centers on understanding how epithelial-mesenchymal interactions regulate tissue regeneration and stem cell behavior in the skin. Her lab focuses on the Wnt/β-catenin and SHH signaling pathways in hair follicle morphogenesis and how their dysregulation contributes to basal cell carcinoma. She employs live imaging, single-cell genomics, and mouse models to dissect the molecular mechanisms governing coordinated cell growth and differentiation. Publication Trends: Her recent work spans developmental biology, dermatopathology, computational biology, and clinical dermatology. A strong theme is the use of advanced genomic and imaging techniques to decode developmental signals in skin appendages and apply these insights to cancer biology. Collaborations with computational biologists and clinicians highlight interdisciplinary approaches. Scientific Awards: 2024 'Top Doctor' by Yale Medicine $30,000 Biotech Accelerator Award (2023) Advising and Grants: As principal investigator of the Myung Lab, she mentors trainees and leads NIH-funded and institutionally supported research. Her lab is part of the Yale Combined Program in the Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS), indicating graduate student mentorship. While specific grants are not listed, her active publication record and awards suggest robust funding. Labs and Teams: The Myung Lab is central to her research, working closely with the Greco Lab and other collaborators in dermatology and pathology. She is integrated into multiple research centers at Yale, facilitating team science in skin biology and cancer.
