Yvon Woappi Dermatology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School Biography Publications Institution JoVE Articles Yvon Woappi Yvon Woappi is an Instructor in the Department of Dermatology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. He received his B.S in Biology at the University of Pittsburgh, and a Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences as a Grace Jordan McFadden Fellow under Lucia Pirisi at the University of South Carolina.During his doctoral training Dr. Woappi grew a strong interest in understanding the mechanisms of epithelial regeneration and established the 3D skin spheroid plasticity assay, a high throughput cell culture method for patterning epithelial regenerative plasticity ex vivo. He later joined the Harvard Dermatology research program as a post-doctoral fellow, where he learned to use mouse as a model organism and developed an in vivo gene-editing platform to study the genetic alterations driving diseases of the stratified epithelium.Dr. Woappi was recipient of the 2019 Engineering The Genome Keystone award and was selected as a Rising Star in Biomedical Sciences by MIT, Cornell, and Columbia University. He was later awarded the NIGMS-MOSAIC K99/R00 Postdoctoral Career Transition Award to launch his independent research laboratory. Away from the bench, Dr. Woappi is an ardent proponent of inclusive excellence and served on the advisory committee for the NIH Continued Umbrella Research Experiences Program at Harvard Medical School.
