Dr. Qing Lin (M.D. & Ph.D.) is an Associate Professor at the Ohio State University College of Medicine. As an immunologist, he explores how inflammation contributes to abnormal tissue remodeling. He holds an M.D. in Clinical Medicine, an M.S. in Pathophysiology, and a Ph.D. in Immunology. Furthermore, he has postdoctoral experience in vascular inflammation at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

Dr. Lin's research primarily focuses on skin wound healing and pulmonary arterial hypertension, with particular interests in G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling and damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) proteins. He leads a laboratory dedicated to understanding the roles of immune cells, especially neutrophils, macrophages, and mast cells, in lung and skin vascular inflammatory diseases. These projects aim to shed light on manipulating the immune response to promote wound regeneration, which is highly relevant to patients with fibrotic diseases.

Dr. Lin has served on the editorial board for ten scientific journals and has reviewed papers for over fifty journals, most of which are in the field of immunology.
