Peggy Myung is an Associate Professor in the Department of Dermatology at Yale University. Her research focuses on hair follicle development and regeneration, with an emphasis on the dermal niche that regulates hair follicle cell fate decisions. Dr. Myung's work seeks to understand the complex epithelial-mesenchymal interactions that govern epithelial growth and differentiation, as well as the molecular mechanisms that can suppress abnormal growth, contributing to cancer development. Her laboratory explores how coordinated growth, spatial signaling, and stem cell behavior affect tissue homeostasis, particularly in the context of skin regeneration and tumorigenesis. Dr. Myung is dedicated to developing novel treatments for hair loss and non-melanoma skin cancer, highlighting her commitment to advancing dermatological science and clinical practice.
