Biography
- Dr. Lu Qi obtained a medical degree in China and PhD at Tufts University in the United States.
- He is now an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and an Assistant Professor of Nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health.
- Dr. Qi's major research interests have focused on genetic and nutritional epidemiology of obesity, type 2 diabetes and related cardiovascular diseases.
- His recent research topics also include epigenetics and metabolomics, and the complex interactions between genetic variations, omic events and lifestyle/diet factors in relation to metabolic disorder.
- He has extensive experience in leading epidemiology and genetic studies in large cohorts, randomized clinical trials, and international collaborations.
- He has been leading several projects funded by NIH and American Heart Association, and European Foundation for the Study of Diabetes.
- He serves as editorial board member for several journals such as Journal of Nutrition, BMC Medical Genetics (Associate Editor), The International Journal of Molecular Epidemiology and Genetics, The Scientific World Journal, and Frontiers in Nutrigenomics.
He was awarded-
- Roger R. Williams Award for Genetic Epidemiology (2008),
- The Mark Bieber Award (2009),
- Jeremiah and Rose Stamler Research Award for New Investigators (finalist; 2010) by American Heart Association;
