Yuhua Song is a Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. She joined UAB in 2006 as Assistant Professor from Washington University in St. Louis’ Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics where she was a research instructor in the Center for Computational Biology.

Dr. Song’s research group uses integrated multiscale computational modelling and experimental approaches to investigate the structural, molecular and functional mechanisms of the biomolecular interactions. Her research goal is to identify endogenous and exogenous small molecules, including reposition of FDA-approved drugs, to regulate the biomolecular interactions underlying important cellular activities in Alzheimer's disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease, dermatopathology, regenerative medicine and precision medicine, with current focus in Alzheimer's disease, for potential therapeutic treatment. Methodology development for multiscale modelling of complex biological systems continues to be a focus of her research group. Dr. Song’s research program is currently funded by NIH R01, NSF, Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation and UAB internal grants.
