Name:Wenfang Bai

Title: Attending physician of Rehabilitation Medicine Division

Bio:

He has been engaged in medical clinical work for more than 20 years, and has rich clinical experience in diagnosis and rehabilitation of nervous system diseases (such as stroke, brain trauma, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, facial nerve paralysis, etc.), bone and joint system diseases (such as cervical and lumbar diseases, joint replacement, sports trauma, etc.), severe rehabilitation, and various elderly chronic diseases. His research interests include the application and transformation of electromagnetic fields and stem cells in regeneration and repair, new theories and technologies in clinical medicine of nerve rehabilitation and severe rehabilitation. He worked at ICORD (International Collaboration On Repair Discoveries) of Canada Vancouver General Hospital in 2014.

Education:

2000.9---2005.7 Bachelor degree in Integrated traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine, Jiangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Nanchang, China

2006.9---2009.7 Master degree in Neurology, Ji Nan University, Guangdong, China

2013.9---2017.7  Doctor degree in Rehabilitation Medicine and Physical Therapy，Ji Nan University, Guangdong, China

Award and Honors:

He won a scholarship from UBC University as an international visiting scholar in 2014

As the first author, his paper Low Electromagnetical Fields Facilitate the Induction of Rat Bone Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Differentiate into Functional Neurons won the first prize in the 2012 Guangdong, Honkong, Macau and Taiwan's Academic Conference of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation held by Guangdong Province Medical association in Guangzhou.

Professional memberships:

vice chairman of Youth Committee of Guangdong physical medicine and Rehabilitation Branch, member of stroke branch, executive director and Deputy Secretary General of Guangzhou Rehabilitation Medical Association, member of Community Rehabilitation Branch of Guangdong Medical Association, and young editorial board member of Chinese Journal of clinical anatomy.
