Qing Lan is a Chinese physician-scientist and molecular epidemiologist who researches indoor air pollution, lung cancer, and occupational exposures.
[1][2] In 2001, she completed a Ph.D. in molecular epidemiology at the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine, as part of a joint training program with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
[1][3] Lan is a senior investigator in the occupational and environmental epidemiology branch at the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
[1] Her research focuses on the molecular epidemiology of indoor air pollution and lung cancer and occupational exposures to known or suspected carcinogens, as well as the etiology of hematopoietic malignancies.
[1] She has conducted molecular epidemiologic studies of populations exposed to well-defined classes of chemical compounds that are known or suspected carcinogens, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, diesel, carbon black, nanoparticles, and others.
