Born and raised around St. Petersburg and Tampa, Florida, KinhTu initially pursued a college education to become a dentist, influenced by a suggestion from his mother who believed it would result in fewer illnesses compared to being a doctor. However, Tu is very thankful to have ultimately become a doctor. His soon-to-be spouse is a psychiatry resident and will be joining the team next year. Tu's main clinical and research interests currently include multisystem diseases such as SLE, dermatomyositis, and vasculitis, as well as the application of artificial intelligence in medicine.
