Wei-Jun Qian

Dr. Wei-Jun Qian is a bioanalytical chemist whose research centers primarily on the development and applications of mass spectrometry-based approaches for better quantify the dynamic changes in protein abundances and protein post-translational modifications in biological and clinical applications. Dr. Qian is currently a Staff Scientist at the Integrative Omics group in the Biological Sciences Division at PNNL, where he has worked since 2002. Dr. Qian has received several prestigious honors, including a National Institutes of Health Director’s New Innovator Award (2009), and a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) in 2011. His current research involves the development of chemical proteomic approaches for site-specific quantification of cysteine-based redox modifications and more sensitive selected reaction monitoring (SRM)-based targeted quantification techniques with applications in pancreatic islets, diabetes, and oxidative stress-related disease areas. In addition to research, Dr. Qian is actively involved in training and mentoring postdoctoral researchers and intern students.
