Lei Stanley Qi (born August 17, 1983) is an Assistant Professor of Bioengineering and Chemical and Systems Biology, and a Faculty Fellow in ChEM-H at Stanford University since 2014.

Education
Qi earned his B. S. in Mathematics & Physics Tsinghua University, Beijing, China in 2005. He received his joint Ph.D. degree in Bioengineering from University of California, Berkeley and University of California, San Francisco in 2012. In 2012, he joined University of California, San Francisco as Systems Biology Fellow. There he developed the CRISPR technologies for transcription regulation and genome imaging. He joined the faculty at Stanford University in 2014.

Research
Qi is one pioneer in the CRISPR technology for genome engineering. Different from other developers of the CRISPR technology, he has developed a series of gene regulation and imaging technologies, including CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) (1,2), CRISPR imaging (note: not created yet) (3), and high-throughput CRISPR screening (4). Qi’s team has shared CRISPR reagents and protocols (5) with thousands of laboratories directly and via the plasmid-sharing website, Addgene, which has distributed CRISPR plasmids deposited by Qi more than 3,000 times since his team’s first publication in Feb 2013 (1). Qi is a recipient of the NIH Director’s Early Independence Award.

Qi is also working in the fields of Systems Biology and Synthetic Biology (6,7,8), and developed methods to generate synthetic noncoding RNA regulators of transcription, translation, and as molecular sensor of chemicals and intracellular proteins (9). He has created synthetic circuits based on the CRISPR system for directing metabolic pathways and mammalian cell engineering (10).

Qi’s laboratory continues to develop, improve, and apply the CRISPR genome engineering technologies for the studying and regulation of genetic networks aims at both basic disease research and therapeutics.
