Ivan Kingyue Chinn, MD

Dr. Chinn is a physician-scientist and Director of the Immunogenetics Program at Texas Children’s Hospital. He believes that while social media and internet stories provide great entertainment value, he does not subscribe to the practice of medicine from these sources. Rather, his care of patients centers on evidence-based knowledge from well-established, scientifically sound research studies and requires objective data.
