Nancy Y. Lin

Nancy Y. Lin, MD, MS, FAAP serves as an Attending Physician in the Division of Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and holds an academic appointment as Clinical Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine. Her clinical practice integrates pulmonary and sleep medicine for pediatric patients with complex respiratory conditions.

Her educational pathway includes:

• Medical Degree: National Yang-Ming University School of Medicine (Taipei, Taiwan)
• Residency: Categorical General Pediatrics at New York Medical College – Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital
• Fellowships: Pediatric Pulmonary Medicine and Sleep Medicine at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center

Dr. Lin's research program centers on translating clinical innovations into improved outcomes for children with respiratory diseases. She pioneers telemedicine applications for asthma management in underserved populations, develops advanced imaging biomarkers using 129Xe MRI for objective disease assessment, and investigates complications in cystic fibrosis and sleep disorders among children with chronic lung conditions. Her work consistently addresses health equity through interventions targeting inner-city communities and vulnerable patient populations.

Analysis of her publication record reveals three dominant research trajectories: (1) Technology-enhanced care delivery models for asthma management, (2) Advanced imaging techniques for objective disease phenotyping, and (3) Complication management in cystic fibrosis and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. These themes demonstrate her commitment to bridging diagnostic innovation with practical clinical implementation.

Professional certifications include Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), with board certification in Pediatrics. She maintains active membership in the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (2020–present), American Thoracic Society (2016–present, including Pediatric Assembly), and American Academy of Pediatrics (2009–present).

Dr. Lin demonstrates significant educational leadership through her prior role as Co-Chief Fellow at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, where she coordinated fellowship orientation, resident boot camps, and lecture series. Her committee service includes the Annual Pulmonary Fellowship Program Review Committee and multiple education-focused initiatives within the Pediatric Pulmonary Fellowship program.

At Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, she contributes to the Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine Division and Sleep Center, where she integrates clinical care, research, and teaching to advance pediatric respiratory medicine through evidence-based innovation and mentorship.
