Professional History
Dr. Yeo earned his medical degree at Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University in 2011. After internship and residency training at Children's National Medical Center, he completed a pediatric Hematology/Oncology and a pediatric neuro-oncology fellowship at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. He was subsequently recruited to join the Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center as an attending physician and clinician-researcher.
His interests are in the development and conduct of early phase clinical trials, the care of adolescent and young adult (AYA) with primary CNS tumors, and medical education. Dr. Yeo currently leads the AYA neuro-oncology program and the pediatric neuro-oncology fellowship program.
