About
Zhan Qi’s research spans two seemingly distinct but equally impactful domains: the molecular genetics of gene expression and the clinical application of robotic neurosurgery. In molecular biology, Qi has made foundational contributions to understanding how core promoter sequences regulate gene expression in metazoans. Their landmark 2022 study, which has already garnered 28 citations, employed a large-scale synthetic promoter analysis in *Drosophila* to systematically dissect how core promoters “compute” expression levels—a critical advance in decoding the regulatory logic of animal genomes. In the clinical realm, Qi has pioneered the use of robot-assisted percutaneous balloon compression for treating primary trigeminal neuralgia. Their work demonstrates that robotic guidance significantly improves one-time puncture success rates and procedural safety compared to traditional C-arm-guided techniques, offering a transformative approach to a notoriously painful condition. By bridging fundamental promoter biology with cutting-edge surgical robotics, Zhan Qi exemplifies a rare versatility, producing high-impact work that advances both basic science and patient care. Their achievements highlight the power of interdisciplinary thinking in modern biomedical research.
