Xu Zeng, M.D., Ph.D.
Clinical Professor
About Xu Zeng
Xu Zeng MD PhD, is board-certified in anatomic and clinical pathology. Prior to joining the faculty at the University of Florida Department of Pathology, Immunology and Laboratory Medicine as a renal pathologist, he worked for a number of years at several well-known medical institutions, such as Wayne State University, Bostwick Laboratory and Temple University, for a number of years.
After completing an anatomic and clinical pathology residency at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in the New Hyde Park, New York, Dr. Zeng completed a renal pathology fellowship at Johns Hopkins Medical Institute in Baltimore Maryland.
In addition to renal pathology, Dr. Zeng’s clinical interests include studying the mechanism of proliferative glomerulonephritis and lupus nephritis.
