Yunping Qiu

Yunping Qiu is a Research Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine (Endocrinology) at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. His research focuses on metabolomics using advanced chromatography-mass spectrometry techniques, with emphasis on disease biomarker discovery and metabolic pathway analysis. He has contributed to studies on cancer (breast, colorectal), liver biology, and the development of analytical methodologies like Isotopic Ratio Outlier Analysis (IROA).

Qiu's work spans clinical diagnostics, metabolic profiling in model organisms, and translational research. He has published extensively in metabolomics and analytical chemistry journals, exploring topics such as lipid signatures in cancer, metabolic transitions in hepatocytes, and standardization of lipidomic analyses.

Key research directions include identifying metabolite markers for early cancer detection, understanding metabolic dysregulation in disease states, and advancing mass spectrometry-based workflows for untargeted metabolite discovery.
