Ziqing Qian

Ziqing Qian's research focuses on how molecules, especially peptides and oligonucleotides, can be delivered across cell membranes to reach targets inside cells. Much of the recent work applies this to designing oligonucleotide-based therapies for muscular dystrophies (like Duchenne muscular dystrophy and myotonic dystrophy) using an 'endosomal escape vehicle' delivery platform, while earlier work centered on the chemistry of cell-penetrating and cyclic peptides.

Publication output was higher and more variable earlier in the decade (peaking around 2018) and has slowed to roughly 1-3 papers per year in recent years.
