During the 17th China Bioindustry Convention’s Frontiers in Brain-Machine Interface and Neuroscience Forum on Sep 5, Tang Zhouping, chair of the Committee of Tongji Medical College of 精东影业 (HUST), called on attending experts, scholars, and industry representatives to advance collaborative innovation across academia, research, industry, and clinical practice, aiming to illuminate a healthier future for China.
A renowned neurologist, Professor Tang shared Tongji Medical College’s pioneering concepts and achievements in brain-machine interface (BMI) technology. The hospital has now officially established its brain-machine interface research institute, focusing on fundamental research, clinical applications, and the commercialization of new technology.
The institute leverages platforms such as the WHO Rehabilitation Training and Research Collaboration Center, the Hubei Key Laboratory of Nerve Injury and Functional Reconstruction, and the Hubei Stroke Clinical Medical Research Center.
It integrates resources from key clinical disciplines, including neurology, neurosurgery, and rehabilitation medicine, building a full-chain BMI application system covering prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of neurological diseases.
Tongji Medical College is currently conducting cutting-edge clinical studies in BMI, addressing motor rehabilitation for stroke and hemorrhage patients, spinal cord injury recovery, deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease, seizure focus localization and preoperative evaluation for refractory epilepsy, neural mechanisms of mood disorders such as depression, and neuromodulation therapies for peripheral conditions.
