Yuxuan Jin, MD

I decided to specialize in neurology during medical school because I was fascinated by the complexity of the human brain. I was also drawn to the opportunities to treat neurological disorders and the great challenges they present. After I graduated from medical school, this interest continued to motivate me in both research and patient care. I successfully completed a doctorate program in neuroscience before I began my career in clinical neurology to help patients fight neurological illnesses.

As a general neurologist with a subspecialty in neuromuscular diseases, I see patients with a variety of neurological disorders, including neuromuscular diseases, headaches, memory impairment, movement disorder, and neuroinflammatory diseases. I perform electromyography and nerve conduction velocity to measure the electrical activity of muscles and nerves.

At NYU Langone, I am honored by the opportunity to work with a team of world-class experts who put patient care first. I strive to offer patients the latest treatments available and focus on treating the whole person. I emphasize exercise and lifestyle modifications to avoid unnecessary medications.

I have a strong passion for medical research and teaching and have conducted extensive clinical and translational research. I have published more than 10 articles on neuromuscular diseases, multiple sclerosis, and stroke, and have presented at many international conferences. I am also an active reviewer of Neurology Journal. I am proud to be a member of the American Academy of Neurology.
