Dr. Hattie Chung

Biography

Hattie Chung is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at Yale School of Medicine, specializing in Cardiology and Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology. She is a member of the Cardiovascular Research Center and works as a systems computational biologist with a strong track record in designing cutting-edge methods to obtain and analyze high-dimensional genomic data. Dr. Chung's lab focuses on the molecular basis of cellular heterogeneity and tissue organization in health and disease, pioneering computational and experimental methods, with an emphasis on single-cell spatial genomics technologies. Her interdisciplinary team investigates ovarian aging and cardiovascular disease while developing predictive models of drug perturbations. Dr. Chung earned her PhD in Systems Biology from Harvard University, where she studied evolutionary dynamics of infections using computational genomics. She also holds a Bachelor's degree in Biological Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she researched synthetic biology and drug delivery. After her PhD, she completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, where she developed widely recognized single-cell methods.
