George W. Yu graduated from Tufts University School of Medicine and completed his general surgical residency at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital-Harvard Medical School in 1976, and finished his training in Urology at Johns Hopkins Hospital and Medical Center in 1981.
In the first part of his career from 1981 to 1998, he focused on surgical urological oncology and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Harry Miller, former Chief of Urology at George Washington Medical Center, and George Yu co-authored the landmark operative textbook Critical Operative Maneuvers in Urologic Surgery published by Mosby and Harcourt in 1997.
From 1999 to the present, Dr. Yu has focused on male endocrine changes in cancer and aging and the subsequent effects on anabolism and catabolism. In the last ten years, he has created an endocrine database of aging men with all the secondary problems of sacropenia, osteoporosis and anemia etc.
His surgical experience with Hyperalimentation, his missionary experience with Kwashiorkor protein malnutrition, his surgical experience with neural-tube birth defects and its decline with maternal Folic acid supplementation, and his audit work with the Kushi Institute on nutritional intervention on terminal cancers in the “Best Case Series” N.I.H. program made him a firm advocate of nutritional importance in health and disease.
His involvement with the sick 9/11 firefighters in New York City give him an opportunity to understand the role of toxic chemical exposure and its bioaccumulation in fat tissues resulting in overloaded body burdens leading to changes in our metabolism, endocrinology, and immunology
He has been Clinical Professor of Urology at George Washington University Medical Center for the last twenty years and maintains a private practice, Aegis Medical and Research Associates. He is a consultant for the George Washington University Center of Integrative Medicine.
