Dr. Yong Qian is an Adjunct Professor of Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at West Virginia University and a toxicologist and a group leader at National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). He received his Ph.D. from West Virginia University in 1999, USA. Dr. Yong has experience and expertise in molecular toxicology and cell biology. The areas of Dr. Yong research are: nano particle-induced pulmonary diseases, identification of lung cancer biomarkers, per fluorinated chemicals in occupational safety and health, heavy metal-induced carcinogenesis. He has published more than 50 peer-reviewed journal papers. Dr. Yong contributions to sciences are: identification of novel biomarkers and molecular mechanisms of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-induced pulmonary diseases, including fibrosis, for early detection and treatment interventions; application of bioinformatics in toxicity study and cancer research; identification of toxicological mechanisms involved in printer-emitted engineered nanoparticle-induced toxicity; and identification of the role of ROS and cellular cytoskeleton in heavy metal, ethanol, and per fluoro octane sulphonate in cellular toxicity.
