Xiang Qi, PhD, RN, is an Assistant Professor at NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing. As a nurse-scientist, he focuses on the critical intersection of geriatric oral health, social epidemiology, psychiatry, and dementia caregiving, striving to reduce disparities in Alzheimer's disease-related dementias among older populations in the U.S. and globally. His research includes expertise in data science and advanced quantitative methods, particularly machine learning and multilevel modeling. Currently, he is the principal investigator of an NIH-funded R01 project that examines the social and biological pathways linking poor oral health to various dementia subtypes. Qi’s landmark research has established a strong link between poor oral health and dementia risk, significantly influencing clinical conversations around preventative oral care. Additionally, he advocates for the inclusion of oral health in global dementia prevention guidelines published in the Lancet. Qi has led multiple NIH-funded studies focused on disaggregating data to uncover hidden disparities in cardiometabolic disease and cognitive aging within diverse Asian American subgroups. His work has been featured in leading media outlets and he serves on editorial boards and advisory boards of key health organizations, contributing to community enhancements in dementia care.
