Biography

Guoting Qin is a Research Associate Professor in the Department of Vision Sciences of the University of Houston, College of Optometry. She received a B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Science and Technology of China, and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Houston.  

Her research focus is to understand ocular homeostasis and to characterize the host response to environmental stress and disease progression using mass spectrometry-based omics tools. These tools, including crosslinking mass spectrometry, proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics, and glycomics, are used to map the interactome of the ocular surface at a molecular level.
