The team has pioneered a noninvasive electromagnetic stimulation–based diagnostic and therapeutic pathway targeting multiple anatomical sites, breaking away from the conventional single‑site cortical stimulation paradigm. They have developed multi‑target synchronous and asynchronous stimulation protocols that engage the cerebral cortex, the corticospinal tract, and peripheral nerves, integrating these with rehabilitation techniques such as motor learning and balance training to conduct both basic and clinical research. For nearly a decade, the team has been deeply engaged in regenerative rehabilitation research, focusing on stem cell‑derived exosomes, microenvironmental modulation, and stem cell transplantation technologies. Centered on brain injury, lumbar disc herniation, and peripheral nerve damage, they have undertaken a series of preclinical and translational clinical studies.
