Xu-Feng Huang MD, PhD, DSc is a Distinguished Professor at the University of Wollongong and Principal Research Fellow with the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), Australia. His career spans both teaching and research at the tertiary institutions. He specializes in the study of brain structure,[1] molecular mechanism of antipsychotic drug action,[2] neuropathology of schizophrenia,[3] and nutrients for brain health.[4]
Education
[edit]Xufeng was born in Beijing and received his education at the Pizhou High School. He graduated from Xuzhou Medical University and completed his PhD at the University of New South Wales. He was later awarded a DSc from the University of Wollongong.
Research outcomes
[edit]He initiated the Centre for Translational Neuroscience (CTN), which has been at the forefront of research on the neuropathology of schizophrenia and the brain's regulation of body weight. Over the past 25 years, the CTN has made groundbreaking contributions, such as identifying central leptin resistance in diet-induced obesity, developing the satiety enhancer β-glucan, and uncovering the obesogenic effects of olanzapine.
