I was a sophomore at Shandong University when'Dolly'the sheep was cloned by nuclear transfer from an adult somatic cell. I was inspired by this news and began studying literature on fertilization and development, where I found the seminal work of pioneering experimental biologist Dr. Tschou Su. Dr. Tschou's research was fascinating to me because it demonstrated that unfertilized toad oocytes could be punctured by a needle and still develop into normal adults. I later accepted an offer to pursue my PhD at Fudan University under Professor Jiake Tso, who inherited the lab and research of Dr. Tschou, where I began studying oocyte maturation in toads.
