• 2001-2006 Professor and head of Department of Neurosurgery  Shanghai Jiaotong University Affiliated Xinhua Hospital, P. R. China

Research Interests

Brain tumor research

• Dr.Ma’s research focuses on brain tumor tissue bank and we collected more than 1000 pediatric patients with brain tumors. We have performed large scale genetic screen and successfully identified druggable genes. We focused on chromatin remodeling, epigenetic modifications, DNA methylation profiling and their roles in medulloblastoma metastasis.

Minimal Invasive Image-Guided Neurosurgery and Pediatric Neurosurgery

• Using of MRI, CT and ultrasound to improve the minimal invasive Neurosurgery
