About Qiran Chen

Dr. Qiran Chen received her B.S. degree in Biological Science from Nankai University in 2012, a M.P.H. in Epidemiology from Indiana University in 2014 and a Ph.D. in Environmental Health from Indiana University Bloomington in 2020 (mentor James E Klaunig and Kan Shao). Before joining the University of Florida, Dr. Chen was a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Computational Comparative Medicine at Kansas State University.

Dr. Chen’s research has focused on the human risk assessment of environmental chemicals and nanoparticles using the advanced computational methodologies. Her studies have received several awards, including the Andersen-Clewell Trainee Award of the Risk Assessment Specialty Section, and the Dharm V. Singh Carcinogenesis Graduate Student Award of the Carcinogenesis Specialty Section in the Society of Toxicology in 2020.
