Guoqing Qian
Dr. Qian received his PhD in Toxicology in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at the University of Georgia in December 2012. After graduation, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow and scientist in the Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology at Emory University. Dr. Qian was appointed as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Biology at the University of Texas at Tyler Health Science Center in July 2019. He has published more than 40 peer-reviewed articles and serves as a reviewer for many scientific journals. Dr. Qian is an active member of the American Thoracic Society. He has mentored many undergraduate/graduate students and visiting scholars from China, Malaysia, Korea, Burkina Faso, Uganda, and Nigeria. Dr. Qian’s current research focuses on the novel immune and inflammatory molecules and pathways that are critical for the development of pulmonary fibrosis, pleural fibrosis, lung cancer, and metabolic diseases. His research interests lie in posttranslational modification, cell phenotypic modulation, invasion and metastasis, apoptosis, druggable target discovery, biomarker development, and chemoprevention with natural compounds.
