Dr Yue Huang

I obtained MBBS degree from Harbin Medical University, China in 1991, trained as a neurologist, and practiced in clinics before I was enrolled for postgraduate degree in 2000. I started my medical research career in 2003 after I completed my MD in genetic and proteomic studies on neurological conditions. I had postdoctoral training on neuropathology at Neuroscience Research Australia in Sydney, Australia. I became a conjunct Lecturer and Senior Research Officer in January 2008, a conjoint senior lecturer and associate professor of New South Wales University, Australia in 2012 and 2016. In Dec. 2017, I took the position of Director, Human Brain Bank at China National Clinical Research Centre for Neurological Diseases, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, China and set up an outpatient clinic at Neurology Department, Beijing Tiantan Hospital to see patients with familial neurodegenerative disorders.

I am interested in using genetics and neuropathological approaches to perform medical researches on neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s Disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and frontotemporal dementia, etc. In the past five years, I have been primarily supervising nine postgraduates and one postdoc. I am also full of enthusiasm on promoting public benefits by organizing doctor-patients group gathering meeting, ever created Tiantan Brain Health Volunteers Group (2019), organized Tiantan International Conferences on Movement Disorders (2022), maintain annual Human Brain Banking national ongoing continuing medical education (CME) (three times so far). I have been invited by several international journals to review articles and be on editorial board such as Frontiers in Neurology, Current Alzheimer’s Research, etc. I have published over 90 research articles with H index 31. I am participating in two clinical trials under the support of pharmaceutical companies.
