Hongmei Wang is the director of the State Key Laboratory of Stem Cell and Reproductive Biology, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences and she also serves as the deputy director of the Institute of Zoology. She is also the chairman of the Chinese Society of Reproductive Biology. Hongmei and her team are committed to using various models—including human, non-human primate, and mouse embryos and extraembryonic tissues, as well as stem cell-based embryo models and organoids—to unravel key events and mechanisms of mammalian early development and placentation. They also aim to establish links between abnormalities in embryonic and placental development and the onset of birth defects or gestational diseases. She has published over 130 papers in academic journals, including Nature, Science, and Cell.
