Peggy Myung, MD, PhD is Vice Chair of Research and Associate Professor of Dermatology and Pathology at Yale School of Medicine. She maintains strong affiliations across multiple Yale entities including the Yale Cancer Center, Yale Stem Cell Center, Cancer Signaling Networks Program, and Pathology Research Program in Translational Biomedicine. Dr. Myung leads the Myung Lab which focuses on hair follicle development and regeneration research, with applications to understanding skin cancer mechanisms. Dr. Myung received her MD and PhD from the University of Pennsylvania in 2003, completed residencies at Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and University Hospitals Case Medical Center, and a fellowship at Yale University School of Medicine in 2014. She is board certified in both Dermatology (2012) and Dermatopathology (2014, with recertification in 2025). Her research program investigates how heterotypic signals between the skin epidermis and dermis regulate robust and organized hair follicle growth during embryonic development and adult regeneration. The Myung Lab specifically examines: (1) how cellular behaviors such as cell divisions and movement are regulated by key morphogenetic signals during regeneration, (2) how these signals are spatially disseminated to ensure robust but patterned growth, and (3) how these mechanisms contribute to disorganized growth during tumorigenesis. The hair follicle serves as an ideal model for these studies due to its accessibility and well-characterized cyclical regeneration dependent on resident stem cells. Dr. Myung's recent publication record demonstrates consistent productivity in high-impact journals, with a growing emphasis on single-cell genomic techniques and computational approaches to understand cellular interactions at unprecedented resolution. Her work bridges developmental biology, dermatology, and cancer research, with particular focus on Wnt/β-catenin signaling and epithelial-mmesenchymal interactions. Dr. Myung has received notable recognition including: $30K Biotech Accelerator Award (June 2023) Yale Medicine 'Top Doctor' listing (2024) As Vice Chair of Research, Dr. Myung oversees research initiatives within the Department of Dermatology while maintaining an active laboratory program that combines multi-photon imaging, quantitative RNA fluorescent in situ hybridization, single-cell RNA/ATAC sequencing, and in vivo mouse genetic models. Her long-term goal is to develop novel treatments for hair loss and to prevent and treat non-melanoma skin cancer by applying knowledge of hair morphogenetic signals to suppress aberrant growth in carcinogenesis.
