Dr. Vesely is an Assistant Professor in Dermatology at Yale School of Medicine with research training in immunology and clinical expertise in chronic inflammatory skin diseases and cancer immunotherapy. He completed his MD and PhD degrees at Washington University in St. Louis before completing his dermatology residency at Yale School of Medicine. During his post-doctoral fellowship with Dr. Lieping Chen at Yale, Dr. Vesely investigated immune inhibitory receptor V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) as a potential therapeutic target for cutaneous lupus. His research program uses spatial proteomics and spatial transcriptomics to visualize the immunopathogenesis of autoimmune skin diseases with a particular emphasis on immune inhibitory receptors that may be stimulated for future autoimmune disease therapy.
