Professor
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
Dr.Qian received her undergraduate degree in biology from Fudan University in China and a Ph.D. in molecular and cell biology from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. She then pursued postdoctoral training in cardiovascular and stem cell biology at Gladstone Institute, UCSF. Currently as Associate Professor at UNC-Chapel Hill, Dr. Qian is exploring how to alter cardiac cell fate for the development of new therapeutic strategies to treat heart disease. In addition, Qian Lab takes advantage of traditional mouse genetics, cell and molecular assays, biochemistry and the latest single cell omics technologies to investigate the fundamental events underlying cardiomyocyte differentiation/programming and trans-differentiation/reprogramming.
