François Yu is an assistant professor at the Department of Radiology, Radio-Oncology, and Nuclear Medicine at the University of Montreal and a researcher at the CHUM Research Centre. He obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering in 2001 from École Polytechnique de Montréal and his PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Montreal in 2010. His research focuses on high-frequency ultrasound imaging of diseases associated with rheological disorders, including diabetes, atherosclerosis, and venous thrombosis, and the use of microbubbles as ultrasound contrast agents for theranostic applications in oncology and cardiology. Dr. Yu leads the Theranostic Microbubbles Laboratory, which is affiliated with the Medical Biorheology and Ultrasound Laboratory at the CHUM. He specializes in developing targeted therapeutic strategies using ultrasound-activated microbubbles, including targeted drug delivery. His lab aims to elucidate signaling pathways and physiological responses from microbubble oscillations to optimize targeted therapy. The lab fosters a multidisciplinary approach to biomedical research and technological development, covering areas from ultrasound signal processing to cell culture and molecular biology.
Most programs require French B2 level; specific departments may require C1 or C2.
