Zhonghai Li (李忠海) is a Chief Physician, Professor, MD/PhD Supervisor, and Postdoctoral Co-supervisor in the Department of Orthopedics, The First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University (Dalian, China). He has been recognized as a 2025 World’s Top 2% Scientist and a CNKI Highly Cited Scholar (Top 1%). He currently serves as Chair of the Spine Degeneration and Neuroprotection Working Group (Chinese Research Hospital Association), Vice Chair of the Engineering Anatomy Branch (Chinese Anatomical Society), and a committee member of the Neurorestoration Professional Committee (Chinese Medical Doctor Association), among other academic appointments. He also serves on the international editorial boards of SCI journals including Journal of Orthopaedic Translation and Neural Regeneration Research. Professor Li’s research and clinical translational work are centered on neurorestoratology, with a sustained focus on spinal cord injury (SCI) mechanisms, regeneration, and functional restoration, and on the development and clinical translation of neurorestorative strategies involving biomaterials, stem cell-based approaches (including stem cells and related extracellular vesicles), brain–computer interface–assisted rehabilitation, and spinal neuromodulation. His work has also expanded into neuroprotection-oriented precision diagnosis and treatment for degenerative spine diseases and spine-related pain, with an emphasis on neurological function preservation and long-term outcomes.
