Dr. Hansen Xu, Shanghai, ChinaHansen was the World Craniofacial Foundation Research Fellow. Curriculum Vitae
I am a young plastic surgeon from Shanghai, China. In our country, there are many children with 
craniofacial deformities, but only a few centers are capable of performing the necessary surgery to help these children. Although my hospital in China is a big hospital, we neither have a craniofacial center nor can perform craniofacial surgery.
With your support, WCF and Dr. Kenneth Salyer are helping us establish a new craniofacial center in Shanghai and sponsoring me as a research fellow in the United States at Medical City. I am honored to have this opportunity as the WCF Research Fellow. This one-year experience is very important for me as a plastic surgeon, not only for research, but also so I may learn a great deal from the clinical observation, as well.
As the core member of our future craniofacial center and on behalf of the doctors in our department, I want to express our appreciation for WCF’s support. We are happy that we will be able to help more and more Chinese children in the future.
Dr. Salyer is internationally recognized as a leader and pioneer in craniofacial surgery. As his student, he has taught me that in the hands of the surgeon lies the future of the infant. Under his supervision and with help from WCF, our dream to establish a dedicated craniofacial center in China to help more children with craniofacial deformities will come true.
Again, thank you for helping us help the children of WCF.
