Yue Leng, PhD is an Associate Professor in the UCSF Department of Psychiatry. She received her PhD and MPhil in epidemiology from the Department of Public Health and Primary Care at the University of Cambridge. Her research focuses on the epidemiology of sleep, particularly the relationship between sleep, cognition and other health outcomes.
