Qinghua Sun

Qinghua Sun studies how air pollution and other environmental exposures (such as fine particulate matter, extreme heat, and industrial chemicals) affect human and animal health, with particular attention to cardiovascular, metabolic, and developmental effects. Their work spans laboratory studies in mice and rats, epidemiological analyses using large population datasets in China, and air quality monitoring research. Prospective students would likely engage with topics connecting environmental exposures to disease mechanisms such as oxidative stress, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction.

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade with periods of growth (peaking around 2022 and 2024) and dips in other years, but overall activity has remained fairly steady at moderate-to-high volume, averaging about 18 publications per year over the last five years.
