The center is led by Qiu Baoan, so-called “China’s number one person in liver transplantation.” Qiu studied liver transplantation at the University of Pittsburgh Thomas E. Starzl Transplantation Institute and became a member of the Academic Committee of the Beijing Organ Transplant Committee.⁵⁴⁰ All of its members are independently able to carry out donor organ procurement, transplantation, and postoperative care.⁵⁴¹

During a special interview with CCTV in 2014, Qiu said the team has 40 medical staff, 90% of whom hold master’s degrees or above, 5 have senior titles. This department was established in 1988 and has 51 beds. It started liver transplants in 1999.⁵⁴²
