He is the first chairman of the Glioma Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association and the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association. He is currently the president of the Beijing Medical Science and Health Society, the chairman of the Asian Glioma Genome Atlas Project, and the Chinese chairman of the Global Glioma Clinical Trial Project. Editor-in-chief of "Neurological Diseases and Mental Health", deputy editor-in-chief of "Journal of Clinical Surgery", deputy editor-in-chief of "Chinese Clinical Practical Medicine", and deputy editor-in-chief of "Cancer Biology & Medicine".

He has been engaged in medical, teaching and research work in the field of comprehensive treatment of brain tumors for a long time. He has built the world's largest multidimensional genomics database of brain gliomas, leading the world's individualized diagnosis and treatment of gliomas based on molecular pathology. He took the lead in conducting molecular pathology research on gliomas in China and introduced molecular typing into glioma classification before WHO. He discovered the fusion gene PTPRZ1-MET that promotes the malignant progression and drug resistance of gliomas, and developed the original targeted drug PLB-1001. The results were published in Cell and won the Top Ten Advances in Chinese Life Sciences in 2018. He took the lead in carrying out awakening surgery in China and established a technical system for motor area protection; established a multilingual language area precision positioning protection plan, and created a staged resection procedure for gliomas in the language function area, with significantly better results than international reports. He has published 362 papers and 10 cover papers in high-level journals such as Cell and PNAS as the corresponding author; he has been cited 15,700 times and has an H index of 66. There are 23 papers in the top 1% of highly cited papers, 46 of which are included in domestic and foreign guidelines, and 20 are cited by international policy documents. He presided over the formulation of multiple diagnosis and treatment guidelines and specifications such as the "Diagnosis and Treatment Specifications for Brain Glioma" and "Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines for Brain Glioma" of the National Health Commission, and edited a unified textbook. He has obtained 1 Class III medical device registration certificate and 25 domestic and foreign patents. As the first finisher, he won 1 second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, 3 first prizes at the provincial and ministerial levels, and the 14th Guanghua Engineering Science and Technology Award. He was awarded the title of Outstanding Communist Party Member of the Beijing Health System and Advanced Worker of Beijing, and was selected as a Beijing Scholar in 2019 and a member of the Academic Advisory Committee of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.

Michael Brainin
1. Department for Clinical Neurosciences and Preventive, Danube University Krems, Krems an der Donau, Austria; 
2. European Academy of Sciences and Arts, Salzburg, Austria; 
3. Academia Europeae, London, United Kingdom
Interests:

Brain-heart interaction; Cerebral blood flow; Primary and secondary prevention; Brain recovery; Neurorestoration; Brain plasticity; Vascular dementia

Profile:

Michael Brainin is an Austrian neurologist and emeritus professor at the Danube University Krems. He is widely known as a pioneer in stroke research and prevention as well as a leading figure in the development of stroke units. Brainin was president of the Austrian Stroke Society, the European Stroke Organisation and the World Stroke Organization.

In 1998, Brainin co-founded the Austrian Stroke Society (ÖGSF) and was elected as its first president, where he pioneered the planning and establishment of acute stroke units. He also established the first stroke database in Austria, from which the Austrian Stroke Unit Register emerged.

From 2012 to 2014, Brainin was President of the European Stroke Organization (ESO)and from 2018 to 2020, he was President of the World Stroke Organization (WSO). In this global position he propagated the similarities of prevention strategies for stroke as well as dementia and published the "Declaration on the Prevention of Stroke and Dementia" while also developing the project 'Cut Stroke in Half'. From 2008 to 2017, Brainin was also head of the Education Committee of the WSO. In this function, he supported the development of a global network of stroke researchers as well as the educational programs for stroke physicians in numerous countries. Brainin also co-founded the World Stroke Academy, a web-based learning platform. Together with Wolf-Dieter Heiss, he developed the European Stroke Master Program[6] at the Danube University Krems in 2007, an international program for the training of stroke specialists.

Brainin is active in numerous of the WSO's activities. Together with Valery Feigin, he chairs the WSO's Global Policy Committee. He organized and co-chaired numerous international congresses, including the World Stroke Congress in 2020. Throughout his career, he represented the stroke agenda in meetings with the UN and the WHO, often jointly with the World Federation of Neurology, World Heart Federation and World Hypertension League. He is the initiator and supporter of global stroke prevention programs (such as the "Cut Stroke in Half" program). Brainin furthermore advised many countries on the creation and implementation of strategies for stroke treatment, stroke prevention and specialist training (including a training program of 9,000 doctors which he led in Vietnam, as well as other programs in Myanmar, China, Russia and the Philippines). He also supported the founding of the African Stroke Organisation.

His scientific achievements include the development of dysphagia screening, the Gugging Swallowing Screen (GUSS). To harmonize post-stroke care Brainin initiated the development of the Post Stroke Checklist (PSC). A focus of his research was Post-Stroke Cognitive Decline: He initiated and carried out with his team the first randomized polyintervention trial (ASPIS) for the prevention of post-stroke cognitive decline.

He has demonstrated surgeries in more than ten countries in Europe, America, Southeast Asia, and South Asia, and has accepted more than 300 specialists from the United States, Britain, Norway, Australia, Japan, South Korea, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and other countries to come to China for further study and training. He has also opened a training course for cardiac rhythm specialists from countries along the Belt and Road to help improve their cardiac rhythm diagnosis and treatment level. He has undertaken a number of national 15th, 11th, and 12th Five-Year Plan research projects and multiple international multicenter studies, and presided over a major chronic disease project in the 13th Five-Year Plan. Professor Yao serves as deputy editor-in-chief and editorial board member of many academic journals at home and abroad. Professor Yao is currently the vice chairman of the Chinese Medical Association's Cardiac Rhythm Committee and the vice chairman of the Chinese Society of Biomedical Engineering's Cardiac Pacing and Electrophysiology Branch.
