We, the Chinese Neurotrauma Scholar Association (CNSA) Board with heavy hearts, announce that our CNSA Founding President and a Board Councilor, Dr. Xiao-Ming Xu has passed away on December 2, 2022.   He has experienced life challenges for the past 2 years and fought valiantly his battle against cancer.
