Dr. Qi has a broad background in molecular epidemiology studies with specific training and expertise in genetics, biomarkers and nutrition. Dr. Qi’s current research focuses on multi omics, including metabolomics, genomics and transcriptomics, as well as gut microbiome, in relation to obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in both general populations and under-studied populations (e.g., US Hispanics, HIV-infected populations).
