Dr Dahui Qin, MD, PhD

Dr. Dahui Qin received his MD from the Southeast University, Medical College, Nanjing, China and his PhD from the Medical College of Virginia in immunology. He completed residency training in anatomic and clinical pathology at the University of Miami, and is board certified in anatomic and clinical pathology. He did his molecular genetic pathology fellowship at the University of North Carolina and is also board certified in the subspecialty of molecular genetic pathology. He was appointed Assistant Professor for two years in the department of Microbiology and Immunology, Medical College of Virginia, and then joined the faculty at Moffitt Cancer Center as Assistant Member in the Department of Anatomic Pathology in November 2006, moving to the Department of Hematopathology and Laboratory Medicine in 2009 as Medical Director of the Molecular Pathology Laboratory. He was promoted to Associate Member in 2013. Dr. Qin's clinical focus is in Molecular Diagnostics. He established modern …oncologic molecular testing at Moffitt Cancer Center in 2009. Since then, the lab has been growing exponentially, performing a wide menu of clinical testing that includes BCR/ABL quantitative PCR for CML and ALL; T and B cell gene rearrangement for lymphoma patients; chimerism for bone marrow transplant engraftment monitoring; CYP2C19 for pharmacogenomics; IDH1/2 Sequenom assay and MGMT methylation assay for central nervous system tumors; EGFR, BRAF, PIK3, NRAS and KRAS mutation pyrosequencing tests for solid tumors; next generation sequencing for solid tumors and myeloid leukemias. His research interests include improving molecular diagnostic techniques in clinical practice and developing new molecular assays to support clinical research and clinical trials; quality control of molecular diagnostic assays, next generation sequencing and molecular diagnosis; the association of genomic mutations with oncogenesis, diagnosis and therapeutic options. Dr. Qin is an active Clinician Educator who has been involved in teaching medical students, residents, fellows and visiting scholars. He is also involved in training technologists and scientists in the molecular laboratory.
