In May 2021, Renji Hospital officially established and put into operation the "Renji Hospital Craniocerebral Trauma Center", a newly established, independently operating clinical department, with Dr. Feng Junfeng serving as the department director. Clinically, the center focuses on emergency surgery for craniocerebral trauma, cerebral hemorrhage and brain injuries of various causes, the treatment of various neurocritical conditions, coma arousal, recovery of neurological function, and the management of post-traumatic and post-hemorrhagic complications (cranioplasty, hydrocephalus shunt, treatment of diencephalic seizures, etc.). It currently has 11 full-time clinical physicians, all of whom hold doctoral degrees. The center has 3 doctoral supervisors and 2 master's supervisors, and currently has a total of 16 enrolled graduate students. The center has a dedicated research platform — the Shanghai Institute of Craniocerebral Trauma. It currently has 3 full-time researchers, all with doctoral degrees. The team has received funding including 973 Program sub-projects (3 projects), the National Health Special Fund, and the National Natural Science Foundation (25 projects). The predecessor of the Craniocerebral Trauma Center was the Craniocerebral Trauma-Neurocritical Care Group of the Department of Neurosurgery of Renji Hospital.
