Biography: Dr. Huang earned his MD in 1994 at West China University of Medical Sciences, Chendu, China, and his PhD in 2002 at Peking Union Medical College in Beijing, China. He completed his Neurology residency training at UMMC in February 2015.

Before his residency training, Dr. Huang gained extensive research training in the area of neuroimaging of aging and dementia at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas (2003-05), Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH (2005-2006) and University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, TN (2006-09). From 2009-11, he held a faculty position focusing on research in the Department of Neurology at UMMC.

Prior to his immigration from China to the United States in 2003, Dr. Huang also received extensive clinical and research training in Neurology and Neurodegenerative disorders including dementia and Alzheimer's disease as well as Parkinson's disease. He served as one of the key investigators for a large neuroepidemiology study of Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease in China.

Dr. Huang's clinical practice is focused on neurodegenerative and movement disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, tremor, vascular dementia, and mild cognitive impairment. His research interests include exploration of experimental therapeutics for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases and the study of Neuroimaging biomarkers for aging and dementia. Dr. Huang is a member of the American Academy of Neurology, a recipient of the 2006 Chinese Medical Science and Technology Award (first place), and the 2006 AFAR-NYAS-GE Neuroimaging Prize for Junior Investigators. He has authored or coauthored more than two dozen articles in peer-reviewed publications.
