Qiu Lihua, MD, professor and doctoral tutor, is now a chief physician and the associate director of Obs. & Gyn. Department, Ren Ji Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Dr. Qiu used to be a visiting scholar at the Providence College, USA and the University of Sydney, Australia.

Dr. Qiu’ is professional at diagnosis and treatment of gynecological oncology, precancerous lesions of cervix, vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia, lesions of vulva and infection of lower genital tract. From 2005 to now, Dr. Qiu works as Editorial Board Member of Chinese Journal of Practical Gynecology and Obstetrics and Journal of International Reproductive Health/Family Planning. At present, Dr. Qiu is a member of Gynecological Oncology Branch of Chinese Medical Association, vice director member of the Youth Committee of Chinese Obstetricians and Gynecologists Association, vice director member of Gynecological Oncology Branch of Shanghai Medical Association, member of Chinese Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology of China Healthy Birth Science Association.

Dr. Qiu’s research interests focus on gynecological oncology, such as the mechanism of tumor microenvironment regulating metastasis and drug resistance in epithelial ovarian cancer and clinical as well as basic research on the effects of vaginal microorganism and cervical HPV infection on cervical lesions. She hosted 4 projects of National Natural Science Foundation of China and got the support from Clinical Research Innovation and Cultivation Fund of Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, School of Medicine, Shanghai Science and Technology Innovation Action Plan and Project of Shanghai Municipal Education Commission – Gaofeng Clinical Medicine Grant Support. Dr. Qiu had a total of more than 70 research papers published, in which more than 20 were published in SCI cited journals and she was as the first author or corresponding author. In addition, she was also authorized one national invention patents.

As regard to the honors and rewards, Dr. Qiu won Second Prize of 2008 National Science and Technology Progress Award, Second Prize of 2009 Shanghai Medical Science and Technology Award, Third Prize of 2009 Shanghai Science and Technology Progress Award, Second Prize of 2010 Ministry of Education, Science and Technology Progress Award and First Prize of 2017 Shanghai Science and Technology Progress Award.
