Dr. Jian-Yu Que | Mental Health | Research Excellence Award

Associate Chief Physician | Xiamen Xianyue Hospital | China

Jian-Yu Que is an associate chief physician and head of the Clinical Medical Research Center at Xiamen Xianyue Hospital, with advanced medical training from Qiqihar Medical University and postgraduate degrees from Peking University, and is internationally recognized for contributions to psychiatry and sleep medicine. His academic expertise centers on the complex relationships between sleep disturbances and psychiatric disorders, as well as the evaluation of sleep-based interventions for improving mental health outcomes across vulnerable populations, particularly children and adolescents. He has produced an extensive body of high-impact scientific literature indexed in major global databases, with multiple first and corresponding authorship contributions in leading journals such as PLOS Medicine, Molecular Psychiatry, and Behavioral Sleep Medicine, reflecting a strong and sustained research output with notable scholarly influence. His work as lead investigator on large-scale population studies has advanced understanding of the interconnections among insomnia, chronotype, trauma exposure, emotional disorders, suicidal ideation, and health-risk behaviors, generating evidence that directly informs youth mental health policy and early prevention strategies. In addition to independent research leadership, he maintains active national and international collaborations with senior scientists at Peking University and The Chinese University of Hong Kong, including participation in pioneering clinical trials on digital interventions for insomnia in Asia. He also contributes to academic stewardship as a guest editor for Frontiers in Psychiatry and holds leadership roles in national professional societies related to sleep and psychiatric medicine. Through integrated clinical research, policy-relevant population studies, and collaborative innovation, his work has generated significant societal impact by strengthening evidence-based prevention, improving access to mental health interventions, and advancing the scientific foundation of sleep-psychiatry integration in public health systems. He has 3572 citations from 61 documents with an h-index of 22.
