Biography

Dr. Tang Suoqin is a Distinguished Professor and Senior Consultant in the Department of Hematology and Oncology at Beijing Jingdu Children’s Hospital, a leading institution in pediatric hematologic and solid tumor care in China. With over 30 years of clinical and academic leadership, he has become a pivotal figure in advancing the treatment of high-risk neuroblastoma and refractory pediatric solid tumors.

Dr. Tang’s career trajectory is marked by international collaboration and institutional transformation. After serving as Director of Pediatrics at the People’s Liberation Army General Hospital (PLAGH), he joined Beijing Jingdu Children’s Hospital in the 2010s, contributing to its rise as a top-tier private pediatric center. His early work in the 1990s included a three-year fellowship (1993–1996)  at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA), where he trained under Dr. Stuart Siegel, a pioneer in pediatric oncology. This experience profoundly shaped his patient-centric philosophy and expertise in neuroblastoma research .

A vocal advocate for private hospital development in China, Dr. Tang believes these institutions are critical to meeting personalized healthcare demands and bridging gaps in specialized pediatric oncology care.
