Prof. Dr. Peijie He | Medicine and Dentistry | Innovation Excellence Award

ENT Institute and Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Eye & ENT Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China

Professor Peijie He, MD, PhD, is a senior surgeon, clinician-scientist, and academic leader in laryngology and head & neck surgery at the Eye and ENT Hospital of Fudan University, Shanghai. As Chief Physician of the Division of Laryngology, his career integrates advanced clinical practice, translational research, and postgraduate medical education, with a sustained focus on function-preserving treatment strategies for laryngeal and hypopharyngeal diseases. His academic training spans China and South Korea, combining clinical otolaryngology with laser medicine and photodynamic therapy, which has shaped his distinctive interdisciplinary research profile. Professor He has made substantial contributions to minimally invasive laryngeal surgery, phonosurgery, and laser-based therapies, particularly the clinical application of CO₂ and KTP lasers, photodynamic therapy, and office-based interventions for vocal fold leukoplakia, papillomatosis, hemangioma, and early-stage laryngeal carcinoma. His work bridges clinical innovation with mechanistic research, elucidating oxidative stress, ROS-mediated pathways, and apoptosis mechanisms in laryngeal cancer cells, thereby strengthening the scientific foundation of modern laryngological treatments. He has authored and co-authored over 30 peer-reviewed international publications in leading journals such as The Laryngoscope, Journal of Voice, European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, Lasers in Medical Science, and Oncology Letters, with multiple papers as corresponding author. His research is frequently cited and widely recognized within the otolaryngology community. Professor He has served as Principal Investigator on multiple competitive grants, including projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, supporting both basic and clinically translational research.
