My academic direction focuses on perioperative organ protection in aging patient populations through:

1. Lab Research: Investigating mechanisms or relevant targets for multi-organ function protection related to aging, providing innovative theoretical foundations for optimizing perioperative management in elderly patients.

2. Clinical Research: Exploring precision anesthesia strategies to improve surgical outcomes in aging populations through various retrospective and prospective studies.

3. AI and Big Data Analysis: Utilizing machine learning and other technologies to build clinical prediction and explanation models for postoperative adverse events related to aging, combined with multicenter clinical validation studies to verify and promote the models.
