Michael D Yu, MD

I am truly honored to be a part of the Michels family! I obtained my BSE in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, followed by an MD at Jefferson Medical College. I completed my ophthalmology residency at Stanford University and am currently a vitreoretinal fellow at Wills Eye Hospital. Along the way, I have been blessed with incredible mentors who have championed me and given me opportunities to grow as a clinician, surgeon, and researcher. I am eternally grateful for their support.

My clinical and research interests lie at the intersection of retina and oncology. My research to date has focused on describing new imaging biomarkers (on ultra-widefield fundus images and optical coherence tomography) to aid in the diagnosis and prognostication of pigmented choroidal lesions. Following the completion of my fellowship at Wills, I look forward to practicing both retina and oncology.

In my spare time, I enjoy tennis, snowboarding, and drone photography.
