In-Hyun Park received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he studied mTOR pathways regulating cell growth and myogenic differentiation in the laboratory of Jie Chen. He continued his research as a postdoctoral fellow in George Daley’s laboratory at Boston Children’s Hospital, where he isolated one of the first human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and investigated epigenetic changes during reprogramming process.

Park started his own laboratory at Yale University in 2009 and is now an associate professor of genetics in the Yale Stem Cell Center and the Child Study Center. Park investigates human neurodevelopment and related disorders using human iPSCs and develops in vitro brain developmental model systems.
