= Lulu Qian = Lulu Qian is currently a professor of Biological Engineering at CalTech (California Institute of Technology) in Pasadena, California.

Early life and education
Lulu Qian attended Southeast University in Nanjing, China, from September 1998 to June 2002, where she received her Bachelors of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering. She later received a Ph.D in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in Shanghai, China in November 2007. Qian's thesis was molecular and nanotechnology based on DNA self-assembly.

Academic positions
After Qian graduated Shanghai Jiao Tong University, she went to California Institute of Technology (CalTech) as a Postdoctoral Scholar in Bioengineering from January 2008 to December 2010. In January 2011, she got promoted to a Senior Postdoctoral Scholar and this role lasted until June 2013. During Qian's time as a Senior Postdoctoral Scholar, she began a new line of work as a visiting fellow at the Wyss Institute, located in Harvard Medical School in Boston from February to November in 2012. From July 2013 to December 2018, she became an Assisting Professor of Bioengineering due to her outstanding work in the course. Starting in 2019, Lulu Qian received a job as a Professor of Bioengineering and is still currently working at that position.

Awards
Qian has received several awards for her work in the field of biology:


 * Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Award at the Scientific Interface (2012)
 * Okawa Foundation Research Award (2013)
 * National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Award (2013)
 * Associated Students of Caltech (ASCIT) Teaching Award (2019)
 * Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) Young Investigator (2019)
 * Rozenberg Tulip Award in DNA Computing (2019)
