    Qian Qin, M.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center, and a member of its Division of Hematology and Oncology. She specializes in bladder, kidney, prostate, and testicular cancer.

    I really enjoy taking part in the multidisciplinary, patient-centered care and the robust research programs available at UT Southwestern.

    Originally from Houston, Texas, Dr. Qin holds a bachelor's degree in biological sciences and Asian studies from Rice University, where she graduated magna cum laude. She earned her medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine, and completed internal medicine residency training at Houston Methodist Hospital. She then gained advanced training through a hematology and medical oncology fellowship at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York.

    Certified by the Board of Internal Medicine, she joined the UT Southwestern faculty in 2021.

    Dr. Qin’s research interests include novel biomarkers, therapeutics, and therapeutic combinations in genitourinary cancers, particularly in the context of clinical trials. 

    Dr. Qin is a member of the American Medical Association and the American Society of Clinical Oncology. She has published numerous academic articles and delivered several presentations.

    Outside of medicine, Dr. Qin enjoys spending time with her family, exploring the great outdoors, and designing interior spaces.
