Photo of Dr. Qin Dr. Qin is a Research Fellow in the Unit on Neuroadaptation and Protein Metabolism in the Laboratory of Cerebral Metabolism of the Intramural Research Program, National Institute of Mental Health, National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. Dr. Qin received her M.D. in 1986 from Harbin Medical University in China. In 1999 she received a Ph.D. in medical science from Shanghai Medical University (now Medical Center of Fudan University) for her work on protective effects of mild hypothermia and/or magnesium sulfate or Felbamate on hypoxic-ischemic brain damage in newborns. Dr. Qin joined the Laboratory of Cerebral Metabolism in 2000 as a postdoctoral fellow. Currently she is a Research Fellow in the Laboratory studying hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal dysregulation in a mouse model of fragile X syndrome.
