Dr. Yu, who was trained in Dr. David Ornitz's lab at Washington University School of Medicine, has focused on the function of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) in skeletal development and pathogenesis of human craniosynostosis. At Seattle Children's, Dr. Yu's primary research interests focus on molecular, cellular and morphogenetic mechanisms of normal secondary palate morphogenesis and the pathogenesis of cleft palate. He is also investigating molecular and cellular mechanisms of midfacial hypoplasia caused by mutations in FGFRs. RecommendationsBe the first to recommend Dr. Kai Yu Overview
