Suolangqimei was a personal disciple of the renowned Tibetan medical scholar Cuoru Cailang and belongs to the first generation of master's students in Tibetan medicine. He currently serves as associate professor and master's supervisor at the Tibetan Medical College of Tibet, and as director of the Institute of Tibetan Medicine of the college. He has successively developed a series of Tibetan medicines, including Danshikang, Duoxuekang, and Fengshiqing. He undertook the documentation and collation projects of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, including Mingyi Jingcui Xuanji (Selected Essences of Famous Physicians) and Zangyi Jingyao Shihua Ji (The Flower Adornment of Essentials of Tibetan Medicine), as well as the project Chuantong Zangyao Peifang Daquan (A Compendium of Traditional Tibetan Prescriptions) of the China Tibetology Research Center.

Drawing on a large number of traditional tested prescriptions and secret formulas, including more than three hundred traditional Tibetan medicinal prescriptions, tested recipes, and secret formulas of the master Cuoru Cailang, Suolangqimei carried out research and development on the basis of modern medical and pharmaceutical science, broadening the path for the development of traditional Tibetan medicine.
