Dr. Zeng received hisPh.D. degree in 2014 from School of Public Health,Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. After that,he continued to work as a postdoctoral in Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Dr. Zeng’s research mainly focused on the effects of exposure to environmental chemicals on human health.Specific health effects of interest include male reproductive health, adverse birth outcomes, and cancers.He is currently conducting a number of funds, including National Natural Science Foundation of China, Nature Science Foundation of Hubei Province, and China Postdoctoral Science Foundation, andalso participating in other funds such as NationalMajor Programs.
