Yue-Song Gong

Dr. Yue-Song Gong is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at Drexel University College of Medicine. His research focuses on Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis, particularly the role of β-amyloid oligomers in synaptic dysfunction and neurodegeneration. He holds a PhD in Neuropharmacology from the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College (1999) and completed postdoctoral training in Neurobiology at Northwestern University (2002).

• Education: PhD in Neuropharmacology (1999)
• Postdoc: Neurobiology at Northwestern University (2002)

Research interests include identifying pathological protein networks at synapses, exploring aging-related changes in AD, and developing therapies targeting amyloid-beta and tau oligomers. His work bridges basic science and translational medicine, emphasizing early-stage intervention strategies for neurodegenerative diseases.

His publications span mechanisms of amyloid-beta toxicity, synaptic disruption in AD, and potential therapeutic agents like mTOR inhibitors. While no explicit awards/grants are listed, his work reflects sustained engagement with critical areas of AD research.
