Affiliation: University of California, Department of Neurology

Dr. Yuanyuan Wei is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Neurology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). She received her PhD in biomedical engineering from The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2023. She received her B.Eng. degree in precision instrumentation from Tsinghua University in 2018. Her interdisciplinary research integrates artificial intelligence, computational biology, and biomedical engineering to advance therapeutic discovery, molecular diagnostics, and quantitative bioanalysis. Her recent work focuses on protein structure-guided AI drug discovery, computer vision for digital diagnostics, and closed-loop computation-experimental platforms that combine computational prediction with biological validation.

Dr. Wei has published 22 peer-reviewed publications in high-impact journals, including Advanced Science, Chemical Society Reviews, Small Methods, and Biosensors and Bioelectronics, and currently serves as a reviewer for multiple international journals. Her research seeks to establish autonomous, closed-loop AI systems that accelerate biomedical discovery and translation.
