Qing Lan is a Senior Investigator at the Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch, Division of Cancer Epidemiology & Genetics, National Cancer Institute. She received her M.D. from Weifang Medical University, her Ph.D. in molecular epidemiology from the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine in Beijing, as part of a joint training program with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and her M.P.H. at Johns Hopkins University. She has received multiple awards, including the NIH Merit Award for her pioneering research on lung cancer and indoor air pollution that led to interventions that reduced cancer risk, the U.S. EPA Scientific and Technological Achievement Award, the NCI Director's Award, and
the DCEG intramural research award. Her research focuses on the molecular epidemiology of indoor air pollution and lung cancer and occupational exposures to known or suspected carcinogens, as well as the etiology of hematopoietic malignancies.
Luoping Zhang is an Adjunct Professor of Toxicology at the School of Public Health, University of California, Berkeley, USA. She received her B.S. in Physical Chemistry from Wuhan University in 1982, her M.S. in Biochemistry from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 1985, and her Ph.D. in Biochemical Toxicology from Simon Fraser University in 1993. She is also a member of the American Association of Chinese in Toxicology, the Society of Toxicology (SOT), the Northern
California Society of Toxicology (NorCal SOT), and the Environmental
Mutagenesis and Genomics Society (EMGS). Her research is focused on
understanding the molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis and toxicity caused by human exposure to benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, and many other toxic chemicals in the environment.
