Chairman, Professor, Department of Dermatology, Sang Ho Oh, M.D., Ph.D., Professor Oh’s lab focuses on investigating the intricate functions of skin cells and deciphering the underlying mechanisms responsible for pigmentary disorders. Dr. Oh's lab is interested in researching vitiligo, an autoimmune disorder representing hypopigmentary conditions among various pigmentary disorders. Additionally, we are interested in studying hyperpigmentary conditions associated with aging and ultravio

Professor, Department of Dermatology Mi Ryung Roh, MD, Ph.D, Her lab is focused on understanding the molecular basis of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer development and progression and incorporating to real-world patient data. The aim of our lab is to translate basic research findings to better prevention, detection and treatment and to directly enhance the lives of patients currently diagnosed with skin cancer. - Weight-bearing activity impairs nuclear membrane and genome integrity via YAP activation in plantar melanoma Nat Commun. 2022 - Hypoxia and HIF-1a Regulate Collagen Production in Keloids J Invest Dermatol. 2020 E-mail Homepage

Associate Professor, Department of Dermatology Chang Ook Park, MD, Ph.D Dr. Park Laboratory specializes in the study of the T cells in atopic dermatitis and skin itch, with a deep understanding of the interactions and mechanisms between skin resident T cells and neural cells. Employing high-throughput sequencing and intravital microscopy analyses as well as multiple transgenic mouse models, the lab has the potential to pioneer new insights and treatments for skin immune diseases. - Head and neck dermatitis is exacerbated by Malassezia furfur colonization, skin barrier disruption, and immune dysregulation.

Associate Professor, Department of Dermatology Sang Eun Lee, MD, Ph.D The major focus of her research is to study the skin barrier function, itch, and neuroimmune interaction in inflammatory skin diseases including atopic dermatitis. We also specialize in the investigation of inherited bullous skin disease, epidermolysis bullosa, with the aim of developing innovative gene and cell-based therapies through ex vivo gene editing. -Therapeutic base editing and prime editing of COL7A1 mutations in recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.

Associate Professor, Department of Dermatology Byungho Oh, MD, Ph.D His lab has developed and validated an optical imaging technology capable of diagnosing skin cancer without the need for biopsies. This innovative technology will be applied in the surgical process of skin cancer, facilitating precise and swift execution, particularly in Mohs micrographic surgeries. In addition, the lab is actively engaged in research and development of artificial intelligence for the early detection of skin cancer. - Deep Learning Algorithms for Predicting Breslow Thickness from Dermoscopic Images of Acral Lentiginous Melanomas.

Assistant Professor, Department of Dermatology Tae-Gyun Kim, MD, Ph.D His lab aims to determine the role of the immune system in regulating cutaneous homeostasis and physiology. His lab investigates how skin-resident immune cells communicate with skin commensals and non-immune cells to shape long-term immunity co-opted in chronic inflammatory skin diseases (psoriasis and autoimmune connective tissue diseases) and immune tolerance. - Skin microbe-dependent TSLP-ILC2 priming axis in early life is co-opted in allergic inflammation. Cell Host Microbe. 2024 - Pellino-1 promotes intrinsic activation of skin-resident IL-17A-producing T cells in psoriasis. J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2023

Assistant Professor, Department of Dermatology Jong Hoon Kim, MD, Ph.D His lab (Kim’mune Lab) is exploring the antigen-dependent or -independent immune system and spatial dynamics of T cells in diverse inflammatory skin diseases, including autoimmune bullous disease and graft-versus-host disease. The lab's objective is to comprehend the functional role and spatial interaction of T cells in the pathogenicity of these skin conditions. - Microenvironmental network of clonal CXCL13+CD4+ T cells and regulatory T cells in pemphigus chronic blisters J Clin Invest. 2023 - Targeting ICOS expressed on CXCR5+PD-1+ T helper cells suppresses the progression of pemphigus vulgaris.
