Summary
Qing is a research fellow at the Division of Surgery, in the Volatile Biomarker Research Group led by Professor George Hanna. The group focuses on the role of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as non-invasive markers of human diseases. Qing’s current research focuses on the development of gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC(xGC)-MS) methods for the analysis of VOCs in human urine for the non-invasive diagnosis of cancers, particularly gastro-intestinal cancers and prostate cancer. In specific, his work involves the development of high throughput and high resolution GC(xGC)-MS methods suitable for large clinical practice, the standardisation of urinary VOC analysis workflow, and the establishment of cancer diagnostic models based on urinary VOCs.
Qing joined the First Affiliated Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine (FAHZU) in Hangzhou, China as urologist in 2022. His clinical work includes urologic diseases and urologic laparoscopic surgery.
Qing was awarded a MBBS degree in 2017 by Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), Wuhan, China, where he completed a 5-year academic programme and relevant clinical training. Prior to his PhD commencement at Imperial, Qing participated in a clinical internship programme held by Unfallkrankenhaus Berlin, Germany during which he expanded his experience in clinical routine of Accident and Emergency, Traumatic Surgery and Urology.
