Currently, she is the vice-president of the Shanghai Institute of Medical Genetics at SJTU, where her father Zeng Yitao is director-general.
In July 2009 Zeng, her co-workers, and her co-operational team published a paper in Nature, demonstrating for the first-time that an entire mammalian body can be generated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
They used mouse embryos and created iPSCs by applying the same method as Shinya Yamanaka's team.
