Hongmei Du was born in Xingjiang, China. She was awarded bachelor at Nanjing Agricultural University (1996), master at Nanjing Agricultural University (1999) dedicated in cultivation physiology of cut flowers, and completed his PhD in Shanghai Jiaotong University (2006) with research subject of plant developmental biology. From 1999 up to now, she worked as assistant, assistant professor and associate professor at SJTU. In 2007, she was award by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews (R&A) Development Fund, and studied for a Professional Development Award in Golf Course Management, in Ellwood College, Scotland. In 2015.2-2016.2, she worked as a visiting scholar in Dept. of Plant Biology, School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, Rutgers University.

Her current researches were in Ornamental Plant Stress Physiology and Molecular Biology, Ornamental Plant Germplasm Engineering, Uses of Hydrogen Gas in Horticulture.
