Dr. Zhou Nan | Epilepsy | Best Researcher Award

Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University | China 

Dr. Zhou Nan is an attending physician in the department of neurosurgery at Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University. After completing his bachelor’s degree in clinical medicine at Second Military Medical University followed by a combined master’s and doctoral program in neurosurgery at Fudan University under the mentorship of Prof. Mao Ying, he spent time as a visiting scholar at the Brain Bank of the Netherlands Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences Institute of Neuroscience. Upon returning, he joined Huashan Hospital as a resident physician and later advanced to the role of attending physician. His research focuses on surgical treatment of refractory temporal lobe epilepsy, computational modelling of hippocampal circuits, and mesoscale stereotaxic 3D atlases of the mammalian brain, supported by major talent-program and national foundation grants. According to his Google Scholar profile, he has an h-index of [please insert current value] with [please insert document count] publications and [please insert citation count] citations. His work has strengthened the bridge between precision neurosurgery and brain-circuit modelling, earned him recognition in the Chinese and international neurosurgical research community, and positions him as a rising leader whose legacy promises further advances in interventions for drug-resistant epilepsy and neuro-circuit based atlases.
