Her early work focused on the Histology and Embryology. She established human embryonic stem cells lines in 2001; Differentiation and cryopreservation of human ES cells are her main interests since 2002. She has been involved in the field of IVF-ET since 2003. The in vitro fertilization of human gametes and development of human embryos are her main research focus for the past 13 years.
