Academic Education & Work Career:
Dr. ZENG received his B.S. and master from Huazhong Agricultural University and Ph.D. from Wuhan Botanical Garden, CAS. In 2015.10-2016.10, he joined in the lab of Prof. Li Li at Cornell University to study carotenoid biosynthesis in tomato and Arabidopsis. He joined SCBG to study the biosynthesis and regulation of specialized metabolites in Goji (Lycium spp.) and Grona styracifolia since 2010.
