Sheng Qi is a Reader in pharmaceutics at the School of Pharmacy, University of East Anglia. She is also a research group member of Pharmaceutical Materials and Soft Matter. Sheng completed BEng. (Hons) in Industrial Pharmacy at China Pharmaceutical University. She holds a PhD in pharmaceutical sciences from Queen’s University of Belfast. Sheng worked as a postdoctoral scientist studying the structure and stability of amorphous polymer-drug dispersions before joining UEA. 

Sheng’s current research interests focused on mainly understanding the behaviour of drug-polymer/lipid dispersions in solid (phase behaviour) and liquid (in biological fluids) states, and developing new approaches for stabilising supersaturated drug dispersions. Her research group is aiming to enhance drug absorption via tailoring the physical chemistry of drug formulations.
