Dr. Christopher Bunick is an Associate Professor of Dermatology specializing in general medical dermatology and dermatologic surgery. He also performs unique dermatologic research studying the three-dimensional structures of skin-related proteins using X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy. He sees patients at Yale Dermatology Associates in Middlebury, Connecticut, United States. Dr. Bunick provides care to patients with all dermatologic conditions. Dr. Bunick received his BS degree at Vanderbilt University (Nashville, Tennessee) and his MD and PhD degrees at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. His PhD research studied the three-dimensional structures of calcium-binding proteins and proteins involved in DNA repair processes (e.g., the skin disease xeroderma pigmentosum). He completed a medical internship, a dermatology residency, and a dermatology research fellowship (mentored by Nobel Laureate Dr. Thomas A. Steitz) at Yale University School of Medicine (New Haven, Connecticut). He performs laboratory research intending to use X-ray crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy, and biochemistry to understand better the structure-function relationship of proteins involved in normal and diseased skin and dermatologic therapeutics.
