Chief Physician | The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University | China
Dr. Lan Lan, an accomplished anesthesiologist at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University since 2002, demonstrates a strong and continuously advancing research trajectory that makes him highly suitable for a Research Excellence Award. With 23 peer-reviewed publications spanning high-impact journals such as Cardiovascular Research, Free Radical Biology and Medicine, Neuropharmacology, Frontiers in Oncology, Journal of Thoracic Disease, and Translational Lung Cancer Research, his body of work reflects depth, originality, and sustained scientific contribution. His research covers a diverse yet interconnected spectrum, including thoracic anesthesia, non-intubated thoracic surgery, perioperative outcomes, lung transplantation, vascular biology, epigenetic mechanisms such as ALKBH5 and m6A regulation, postoperative rehabilitation, ECMO strategies, pain modulation, and innovative clinical techniques for complex thoracic procedures. Dr. Lan’s contributions significantly advance modern thoracic surgical care, particularly through pioneering studies on spontaneous ventilation, video-assisted thoracic surgery, and risk prediction models that improve patient safety and recovery. His work also extends into translational science, exploring molecular pathways such as PFKFB3-driven glycolysis, Sirt7-mediated vascular calcification regulation, and neurophysiological mechanisms of pain control—demonstrating strong interdisciplinary impact. Many of his publications involve multicenter collaborations, indicating leadership, teamwork, and active engagement with global scientific communities. His consistent output from 2019 to 2026, including randomized controlled trials, observational studies, animal model research, and biomaterials innovation, highlights methodological versatility and research maturity. Dr. Lan’s involvement in developing novel tools—such as hydrogel-coated chest drains and advanced ventilation strategies—further showcases his commitment to clinical innovation and patient-centered outcomes. Collectively, the breadth, quality, innovation, and clinical relevance of his work underscore a distinguished research profile, making him a compelling candidate for recognition through a Research Excellence Award.
