Qin got her PhD from China Agricultural University specializing in pharmacology and toxicology. As a postdoctoral researcher in Florida State University, she studied the proteomics of stem cell  senescence, and acquired expertise in LC-MS/MS and bioinformatics analysis of proteomics data sets. In the Cornell Institute of Biotechnology, Qin applies top-down and bottom-up proteomics methods to elucidate the  pathophysiology  mechanism of various biological samples.

Andy received his PhD from the University of Hong Kong focusing in plant specialized metabolism. He conducted LC-MS/MS-based metabolomics analyses to interrogate the endogenous ability of crop plants to biosynthesize a wide array of natural products. He joined the BRC Proteomics and Metabolomics Facility in September 2023 as a Postdoctoral Research Associate working on small molecule analyses such as compound identification and metabolite quantification from various sources. In December 2024, Andy was promoted to a Research Associate and in June 2026 was promoted to Assistant Director of the facility.
