Dr Yue Huang

I obtained MBBS degree from Harbin Medical University, China in 1991, trained as a neurologist, and practiced in clinics before my Ph.D study in 2000. 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 & Tissue Bank at China National Clinical Research Centre for Neurological Diseases, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, China. I spend 20% of my time in clinic and 80% in research. I see patients at familial neurodegeneration outpatient clinic, Neurology Department, and at research clinic, China National Clinical Research Center for Neurological Diseases, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, China. 

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 in promoting healthcare for rare groups by organizing doctor-patients interaction meetings. I created Tiantan Brain Health Volunteers Group (2019), organized Tiantan International Conferences on Movement Disorders (2022), maintain annual Human Brain & Tissue Banking national ongoing continuing medical education (CME) (Four times so far). I have been invited by several international journals to review articles and be on editorial board such as Frontiers in Neurology, etc. I have published over 90 research articles with H index 31. I am participating in three clinical trials with support from pharmaceutical companies.
