Biography

Dr. Wei Yeh is a postdoctoral researcher and MS Australia Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Neuroscience within the School of Translational Medicine at Monash University. His work is focused on autoimmune neurologic diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS), myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD), and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Dr. Yeh's research interests encompass clinical outcomes, treatment effects, comorbidities, and disease mechanisms. His PhD thesis examined modifiable factors influencing MS, with a specific focus on vitamin D immunobiology, using transcriptomics to study peri-pregnancy disease activity and disease-modifying therapies. His doctoral research was supported by the Australian Government RTP Scholarship and the MS Australia Postgraduate Scholarship. Dr. Yeh has been awarded the competitive ECTRIMS Research Fellowship and is undertaking research on MOGAD and NMOSD at the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Oxford, during 2024-25. He has gained sub-specialty clinical experience in rare autoimmune neurologic diseases and has presented his findings at national and international meetings, receiving the MSJ-PACTRIMS Investigator Award at the 17th Annual PACTRIMS Congress in 2025. His research aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals, contributing to education and health in the field of neuroimmunology.
