Xiangqin Cui
Research Associate Professor
Faculty, Biostatistics and Bioinformatics

Xiangqin Cui joined Emory in 2017 after spending 13 years at the University of Alabama at Birminghm. Currently, she is the founding director of the VA Data Analytics Core, which supports the analytical needs in research and quality assurance at the Atlanta VA Medical Center. The Core's major responsibility is to assist investigators to take advantage of the vast VA electronic medical records in their research and health care quality improvements. Cui's research interests include various types of omics (transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and microbiome) and her newly acquired interest is EHR data analysis.
