Dr. Ling Qin is a Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery and Co-Director of PCMD Histology Core at the University of Pennsylvania. She became ASBMR (American Society for Bone and Mineral Research) fellow in 2018 and Fellow of International Orthopaedic Research (FIOR) in 2019. She is currently a standing member of NIH SBDD (Skeletal Biology Development & Disease) study section. To date, she has published more than 100 peer-reviewed research articles, reviewers, and book chapters in journals such as Sci Transl Med, J Clin Invest, PNAS, Elife, JBMR, Arthritis Rheumatol, Nature etc. Her research program is well funded by NIH. The overall goal of her research is to combine studies on fundamental mechanisms of skeletal cell function with translational medicine approaches to treat skeletal diseases. Her group uses a combination of molecular, biochemical, imaging techniques, and animal models to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which hormones and growth factors regulate bone metabolism and skeletal development under normal and pathological conditions. In the past decade, she has made some groundbreaking discoveries that greatly advance our understanding of molecular regulation of bone and cartilage metabolism, stem cell biology, and skeletal development, and provided promising therapeutic tools for skeletal disorders, such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.
