Dr. Song Jiangping is a tenure-track professor at Peking Union Medical College, a PhD supervisor in the Department of Cardiac Surgery at Fuwai Hospital, and the director of the Beijing Key Laboratory for Preclinical Research and Evaluation of Cardiovascular Implantable Materials. He also serves as a member of the Sixth Advisory Committee of the Medical Science Department, National Natural Science Foundation of China. 

Dr. Song has been dedicated to the comprehensive management and translational research on heart failure. He pioneered a precision classification system for heart failure patients, focusing on strategies to "avoid transplantation, delay transplantation, and actively transplant." His groundbreaking work in predicting sudden cardiac death in concealed heart failure patients and their relatives has been recognized in European textbooks and cited in clinical guidelines. He was among the first to conduct preclinical studies on artificial hearts and xenotransplantation, offering new therapeutic pathways for patients with end-stage heart failure. 

His research resulted in the world's first high-resolution vascular atlas of the normal human heart, uncovered key immunological changes in heart failure, and revealed multiple reversible drug targets. Through interdisciplinary approaches, he has also investigated the impact of circadian rhythm disorders on heart failure and proposed lifestyle intervention strategies. 

Dr. Song is a recipient of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, the Beijing Outstanding Young Scientist Fund, and the Chief Scientist of the National Key R&D Program. He has authored 62 papers as a corresponding author in prestigious journals, including Circulation, Science Translational Medicine, European Heart Journal, and Nature Cell Biology. He has also contributed to an international medical textbook.
