Paul B. Yu, MD, PhD
Dr. Yu completed his AB in Philosophy and a BS in Biological Sciences at Stanford University, MD and PhD (Immunology) degrees at Duke University, completed Internal Medicine residency at UCSF, clinical and research fellowships in Cardiovascular Disease at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), and is board certified in Cardiovascular Medicine. Following a postdoctoral fellowship in the laboratory of Dr. Kenneth Bloch, Dr. Yu established his independent laboratory at MGH, and then moved to BWH in 2011 to join a collaborative basic and translational research effort in pulmonary arterial hypertension. Dr. Yu’s laboratory studies the function of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling in development, and in the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal system. The main focus of his laboratory’s work is to discern how BMP/TGF-β signaling achieves spatio-temporal and functional specificity and modulates the tissue-specific consequences of inflammation and injury, and how these signals may contribute to cardiopulmonary, systemic vascular, and musculoskeletal development and disease. His clinical interests including pulmonary vascular disease, and cardiovascular rheumatology.
