His research focuses on autoimmune disease mechanisms and mast cell biology.

Dr. Qi’s research explores two primary areas: (1) the role of Beta 2-glycoprotein I (beta 2-GPI) in antiphospholipid syndrome and its implications for lipid metabolism and cardiovascular disease using beta 2-GPI knockout mice, and (2) identifying mast cell receptors for IL-16 and their involvement in inflammation, asthma, and HIV-1 infection. His work bridges infectious diseases, immunology, and cardiovascular medicine.
