Overview
Dr. Yu is the Asa Griggs Candler Endowed Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology and the Department of Hematology/Oncology. He is an expert in the investigation of cellular and molecular mechanisms of neuronal cell death, regeneration and stem cell transplantation therapy. His research includes the development of novel treatments for stroke, cancer, and pain. He has served in NIH and AHA study sections for several terms and in editorial boards of several national and international journals.

Research
Focus
- My research has been focused on ionic and molecular mechanisms underlying cell death and neurodegeneration related to brain disorders and cancer pain regulation. Specifically, we are interested in apoptotic regulation of potassium channels, NMDA receptor channels and Na+,K+-ATPase in neuronal and cancer cells. In this regard, we have been investigating the roles of channels/receptors in cell differentiation, migration, pain sensation, and have integrated our research into stem cell therapy for CNS and PNS injuries.
