Chi-Ying Lin

Chi-Ying Lin is an Assistant Professor of Neurology at Baylor College of Medicine, specializing in movement disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. He leads the CurePSP Center of Care for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD), and Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) within the Parkinson's Disease Center and Movement Disorders Clinic. His clinical roles include managing Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and cerebellar ataxia cases at Baylor College of Medicine Medical Center in Houston, Texas.

Dr. Lin holds an MD from Kaohsiung Medical University (Taiwan) and an MPH from Columbia University. His postgraduate training includes a neurology residency and movement disorders fellowship at Mount Sinai Health System, as well as postdoctoral research at Columbia University and Taipei Veterans General Hospital. He has extensive experience in cerebellar pathology and synaptic dysfunction research, particularly in essential tremor and neurodegenerative diseases.

His research focuses on cerebellar contributions to cognitive and behavioral functions, including impulsivity in ataxias, cerebellar reward mechanisms, and the role of the cerebellum in Alzheimer's disease progression. He has also explored vascular risk factors in spinocerebellar ataxias and the non-motor symptoms of neurodegenerative disorders. His work bridges clinical care and translational research, emphasizing patient-centered outcomes and improving diagnostic approaches.

Dr. Lin has been recognized with awards such as the Junior Faculty Seed Award (Baylor College of Medicine) and the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative WNI Award. He actively contributes to professional societies like the American Academy of Neurology and the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
