He holds an M.D. in Neurosurgery from Capital Medical University, where he trained under the mentorship of Professor Yazhuo Zhang. Dr. Liu focuses on the basic and clinical research of skull base tumors, performing approximately 400 surgical procedures annually. His foundational research includes microscopic and neuroendoscopic anatomical studies of the cavernous sinus, as well as investigations into the pathogenesis and progression mechanisms of pituitary adenomas. His surgical approach prioritizes the maximal safe resection of benign intracranial tumors, such as pituitary adenomas, craniopharyngiomas, meningiomas, and schwannomas, to minimize the risk of recurrence.
