Timothy Yu, MD, PhD
Associate Professor in Pediatrics
Harvard Medical School
Attending Physician
Division of Genetics and Genomics
Boston Children’s Hospital
Dr. Yu is passionate about finding ways to bring genomic tools to the bedside to help care for patients with genetic disorders. He leads projects that range from the deployment of genome sequencing in the neonatal intensive care unit to the design and delivery of genome-guided therapeutics for sick children.
Dr. Yu’s laboratory also conducts genome-wide and world-wide analyses of genetic determinants of autism to reveal its underlying genomic architecture, and neurobiological underpinnings.
Dr. Yu completed his undergraduate degree in biochemistry and molecular biology at Harvard College, his M.D. and Ph.D. degree (in Neuroscience) from the University of California at San Francisco, clinical neurology training at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and a fellowship in neurodevelopmental genetics at MGH and Boston Children’s Hospital. He joined the faculty in the Division of Genetics and Genomics at Boston Children’s Hospital as Instructor in 2010 and Assistant Professor in 2013.
