About Dr. Chen Liang (陈亮)
For patients with spinal cord injury, refractory epilepsy, or complex brain tumors, the name Dr. Chen Liang (陈亮) represents the very frontier of what modern neurosurgery can achieve. As Deputy Director of the Department of Neurosurgery, Academic Director of Functional Neurosurgery, and Secretary-General of the National Center for Neurological Disorders (Huashan) at Huashan Hospital (华山医院), Fudan University — one of Asia's most prestigious neurosurgical institutions — Dr. Chen has spent over two decades mastering both conventional high-complexity brain surgery and the clinical translation of invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) technology.
Born in December 1976, Dr. Chen trained under the legendary Academician Zhou Liangfu and Professor Mao Ying, President of Huashan Hospital, before completing advanced fellowships at leading neurosurgical centers across Europe, the United States, Japan, and South Korea. He is a Chief Physician, Full Professor, and Doctoral Supervisor — and the surgeon who, on July 13, 2026, performed the world's first paid epidural BCI implantation surgery using a commercially approved device, simultaneously issuing China's first brain-computer interface medical prescription. This landmark event marked the formal transition of BCI technology from experimental research into routine hospital care.
Clinical Specialties
Dr. Chen's clinical expertise spans two core domains, with particular distinction in:
- Minimally Invasive Brain Tumor Surgery — Microsurgical and neuroendoscopic resection of meningiomas, gliomas, acoustic neuromas (vestibular schwannomas), and complex skull base tumors using combined microscopic and endoscopic techniques
- Cerebrovascular Surgery — Microsurgical management of cerebral aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), cavernous hemangiomas, and moyamoya disease
- Functional Neurosurgery & Neuromodulation — Surgical treatment of refractory epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and intractable pain through deep brain stimulation (DBS) and neuromodulation procedures
- Invasive Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) Surgery — China's leading clinical expert in commercial implantable BCI systems; pioneer of a proprietary epidural minimally invasive implantation technique placing electrodes through a micro-hole in the skull without opening the dura mater, dramatically reducing infection and brain injury risk for patients with spinal cord injury and paralysis
- Cortical EEG Signal Decoding & Motor Rehabilitation — Research and clinical application of cortical brain signal decoding for hand grasp control and BCI-based tactile feedback reconstruction in paralyzed patients
Hospital & Academic Affiliation
Huashan Hospital (华山医院), affiliated with Fudan University, is consistently ranked as one of the top neurosurgical centers in Asia. Its Department of Neurosurgery — where Dr. Chen serves as Deputy Director — is a national benchmark for high-complexity brain surgery, functional neurosurgery, and cutting-edge BCI clinical research. The hospital is home to the National Center for Neurological Disorders, of which Dr. Chen serves as Secretary-General, coordinating national-level neurological disease research and clinical standards.
Dr. Chen has performed over 5,000 Grade IV high-complexity surgeries across his 20-year career, with zero recorded medical incidents — a testament to his technical precision and clinical judgment.
