Dr. Chen specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases. He excels at lung transplantation, thoracoscopic surgery, radical resection of lung cancer, comprehensive treatment of lung cancer and application of ECMO.
Dr. Chen is a top expert of lung transplant in China. He has completed over 1200 lung transplant since his first operation in 2002. He has chaired lung transplant programs in multiple Chinese medical centers, which all have been conducting over 100 lung transplants each year. Thanks to Dr. Chen's great efforts, the fast track system of donor organ transportation in China was established.
In February 2020, Dr. Chen completed world's first double lung transplant on a Covid-19 patient. In April 2020, he was appointed as the director of the national lung transplant program for Covid-19 patients. In February 2021, Dr. Chen performed China's first double lung-liver transplant.
Dr. Chen has published 3 books and over 170 research articles, including 40 in SCI journals such as Cell.
