Dr. Jianhong Zhu is the Professor of Neurosurgery at Fudan University Huashan Hospital and Deputy Director of National Key Laboratory for Medical Neurobiology. Professor Zhu received his M.D. from Suzhou University and Ph.D. degree from Berlin-Humboldt University, Germany. He received his postdoctoral training at the Nippon Medical School in Tokyo, Japan. Dr. Zhu was a Kesley Welch Fellow at Brigham & Women's Hospital and Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston,US. Dr. Zhu is one of expertise in neural stem cell research. He led the first team to successfully grow human neural stem cells from open brain trauma in the laboratory, and used these to repair the damaged brains of head-injury victims in Fudan University Huashan Hospital. He received the Young Neurosurgeon Award of the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS). He served on the executive committee as the treasurer for Asia-Australiasian Society of Neurological Surgery (AANS）and the vice president for Chinese Society of Neuro-Oncology (CSNO), the vice president for Shanghai Neuroscience Socienty and as editorial board member of《Regenerative Medicine》in UK and《Reviews on Clinical Trials》in US.
