She is now leading an education program to develop curricula for global health students in China. As a researcher, her research on access to health products and antimicrobial resistance are well recognized by domestic and international partners. She has been principal investigator for several national and international programs and has published more than 30 papers in journals like the Lancet. She has also started China’s first overseas intervention site in Nepal. As an active practitioner, she has been a consultant for governments, UN agencies, and NGOs. She has been invited by the Chinese government to attend the World Health Assembly and Executive Board of WHO since 2014. She has also actively introduced China’s involvement in global health in many international conferences and has formed a strong partnership with multiple overseas institutions.

Dr. Huang has founded a multi-discipline branch “R&D and Public Health”, which mainly focuses on the access to health products for vulnerable populations globally. She has not only received several national and international grants, but also translated her scientific research into articles as well as policy recommendations.
