Lincai Ye, Associate Professor/ Principal Investigator / Graduate Supervisor; Editorial Board Member of Scientific Reports, Life, HSF, and other journals; Member of  International Society for Minimally Invasive Cardiothoracic Surgery, and Chinese Society of Biomedical Engineering. He has led 15 research projects,such as the National Natural Science Foundation of China. He is with over 60 publications, with a cumulative impact factor of 323.1 and an H-index of 16. In the past five years, he has published 20 JCR Q1 papers as first or corresponding author, such as JHLT and JACC-BTS. He holds 11 authorized invention patents.Addressing a long-standing challenge in pediatric cardiovascular research—the lack of reliable neonatal animal models, which has forced pediatric treatment strategies to rely on extrapolations from adult models—Dr. Ye has focused on the development and application of innovative neonatal cardiovascular disease models. Leading his team, he successfully established a platform for performing high-precision cardiovascular microsurgeries on neonatal mouse hearts the size of a grain of rice. This work has led to the creation of a series of key models that closely mimic pediatric cardiovascular diseases, laying the experimental foundation for in-depth exploration of the unique mechanisms underlying these conditions and the development of precision therapies.
