Assistant Professor | Faculty Fellow

About me


Dr. Shuyuan (Serena) Huang is an Assistant Professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK) College of Nursing. She earned her Ph.D. in Nursing from the Yale School of Nursing and a Master of Public Health (MPH) from Emory University. Prior to joining UTK, she completed a Provost Postdoctoral Fellowship at the New York University Rory Meyers College of Nursing. Dr. Huang's research focuses on women's health, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), cardiometabolic diseases, digital health, lifestyle behaviors, and health disparities. Her program of research aims to advance clinical care through continuous, accessible, and culturally relevant digital health interventions for diverse pregnant and postpartum individuals with gestational diabetes. Through this work, she seeks to improve both short-term pregnancy outcomes and long-term cardiometabolic health. 

Her research projects have been funded by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD), Heilbrunn Nurse Scholar Award, Connecticut Nurses’ Foundation Scholarship Award, and Sigma Theta Tau Delta Mu Professional Development Award. She is a member of the American Diabetes Association, the Society of Behavioral Medicine, and the Southern Nursing Research Society. Dr. Huang is a scientist with the Rutgers-NYU Center for Asian Health Promotion and Excellence (CAHPE). She is also an investigator with the International HOPE Consortium – Healthy Outcomes of Pregnancy for Everyone through Science and Partnership. In addition, she is currently a member of the RICH Heart Health team – a national leader in nurse-led interventions to reduce cardiovascular risk among marginalized groups.

Dr. Huang's dissertation research examined physical activity and sedentary behavior among Chinese immigrants in the United States with a history of gestational diabetes using wearable devices. Her findings highlighted high levels of physical inactivity and sedentary behavior in this at-risk population and identified several culturally relevant and modifiable factors associated with these behaviors. 

Building on this work, her postdoctoral project, "24-Hour Activity and Cardiometabolic Health in Chinese American Women with a History of Gestational Diabetes," characterized the accelerometer-based 24-hour activity and cardiometabolic risk profile and described the multi-contextual barriers and facilitators to meeting physical activity and sleep guidelines in this high-risk population using a mixed-methods approach. Her research team also has expertise in processing and analyzing large-scale wearable device data and using compositional data analysis to examine associations between 24-hour movement behaviors and cardiometabolic health outcomes.

Dr. Huang's ongoing research aims to co-design and develop culturally and linguistically tailored virtual health lifestyle programs for diverse women with gestational diabetes (e.g., Chinese American women, rural women) with key stakeholders, which could serve as innovative, scalable, and sustainable healthcare delivery models for dispersed, minoritized, high-risk groups in the U.S.

理学博士学位,在埃默里大学获得公共卫生硕士学位。在加入UTK之前,她在纽约大学罗里
迈耶斯护理学院完成了教务长博士后奖学金。黄博士的研究重点是女性健康、妊娠糖尿病(
GDM)、心脏代谢疾病、数字健康、生活方式行为和健康差异。她的研究项目旨在通过持续
的、可获取的、与文化相关的数字健康干预措施,为患有妊娠糖尿病的不同孕妇和产后个体
推进临床护理。通过这项工作,她寻求改善短期妊娠结局和长期心脏代谢健康。

她的研究项目获得了国家少数民族健康与健康差异研究所(NIMHD)、Heilbrunn护士学者
奖、康涅狄格州护士基金会奖学金奖和Sigma Theta Tau Delta Mu专业发展奖的资助。她

该小组是护士主导的干预措施的国家领导者,旨在降低边缘化群体的心血管风险。

黄博士的论文研究使用可穿戴设备研究了有妊娠糖尿病史的中国移民在美国的身体活动和
久坐行为。她的研究结果强调了这一高危人群缺乏运动和久坐行为的严重程度,并确定了
与这些行为相关的几个文化相关和可改变的因素。

在此基础上,她的博士后项目“有妊娠糖尿病史的华裔美国妇女24小时活动和心脏代谢健
康”,描述了基于加速计的24小时活动和心脏代谢风险概况,并描述了使用混合方法在这一
高危人群中满足身体活动和睡眠指南的多重背景障碍和促进因素。她的研究团队还擅长处
理和分析大规模可穿戴设备数据,并使用成分数据分析来研究24小时运动行为与心脏代谢
健康结果之间的关系。

黄博士正在进行的研究旨在与关键利益相关者共同设计和开发针对不同妊娠糖尿病妇女
(例如,华裔美国妇女,农村妇女)的文化和语言量身定制的虚拟健康生活方式项目,这可以
作为美国分散,少数群体和高风险群体的创新,可扩展和可持续的医疗保健交付模式
