Introduction:
Dr. Qun Qin is Director and professor of National Center for Protein Sciences (Beijing) and Beijing proteome research center of Academy of Military Medical Sciences, professor of Baylor College of Medicine, USA. He graduated in 1987 from Department of Chemistry, Tsinghua University; obtained his master degree majored in physical chemistry in 1991 from Kansas State University of USA; became Ph. D. candidate in 1993 in Stanford University of USA; obtained his Ph. D degree majored in life science in 1996 from Rockefeller University. From 1996 to 1998, he carried research in National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. From 1998 to now, he was successively appointed as assistant professor, associate professor and professor of Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Baylor College of Medicine, USA. From August, 2005 to now, he is the co-director of Laboratory of Network and Signal Transduction, Baylor College of Medicine, USA. He was appointed as the director of research center for molecular discovery of Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Baylor College of Medicine, USA from December of 2006 to 2014.
Prof. Jun Qin is among the few people in the world, who can integrate MS instrument design, proteomic method development, bioinformatics, biology and clinical applications into one research program. He established international leading technologies for the purification and identification of protein complex in the area of protein complex research; established the world's largest endogenous human protein complex database in the area of protein network analysis; carried out fruitful research in the area of DNA damage and repair. Currently, his research is focused on the application of second generation proteomics methods in the precise and accurate diagnosis of tumor and medical treatment. He has published a series of important article as the corresponding author in famous scientific journals such as Cell, Molecular Cell, Genes & Developments and PNAS.
