Peter A Young
MSPA Instructional Faculty, Physician Assistant Studies
BioAs a Visiting Scholar in the Department of Dermatology, I am fortunate to have world-class mentors and colleagues who are committed to a collaborative approach to research. Having a family history of melanoma, I am passionate about investigating skin cancers and other skin conditions. In 2022, I was named Dermatology PA of the Year by the Society of Dermatology Physician Assistants, a national organization with over 4,700 members.
I have co-authored 30 academic publications on a variety of topics including dermatologic surgery, rare skin conditions, allergen content of skin care products, and the state of diversity within the dermatology profession. My writing has appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, Cutis, and elsewhere. My work has also been cited in UpToDate- the world’s most widely used evidence-based encyclopedia for medical professionals.
Most importantly, I believe in exercising empathy and compassion, taking the time to listen to patients as if they were family. To me, there is no greater responsibility or privilege than to be trusted with another person’s health. -

Astrid Nicole Zamora
Postdoctoral Scholar, Epidemiology
Health Disparities Research Instructor, Office of Diversity in Medical EducationBioDr. Astrid N. Zamora is a public health researcher and epidemiologist committed to advancing health equity in Latino/a/x communities across the United States and Mexico. Her research explores how environmental exposures, dietary behavior/patterns, physical activity, and sleep, independently and jointly, impact cardiometabolic and related health outcomes. Her goal is to blend epidemiologic methods with community-based participatory research so that her work is guided by the lived experiences and priorities of the communities she serves. Ultimately, she hopes to translate those findings into practical, equitable public health strategies aimed at reducing disparities and empowering marginalized populations.
