Personal Biography
Dr. Dingpei Han, M.D., graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine (B.M.–M.M.–Ph.D.). He specializes in thoracic surgery, with expertise in single-port thoracoscopy, magnetic navigation bronchoscopy, and one-stop minimally invasive treatments for pulmonary nodules.
He was the first author of China’s expert consensus on single-port thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery and trained for years at the Shanghai Clinical Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery. Skilled in thoracoscopy, laparoscopy, bronchoscopy, and endoscopy, Dr. Han focuses on improving patient outcomes and quality of life through advanced minimally invasive techniques.
He serves as a member of Ruijin Hospital’s MDT team for pulmonary nodules and thoracic tumors, a clinical instructor for medical trainees, and an examiner for the National Medical Licensing Examination.
