鄭輝研究員長期致力于研究不同細胞命運轉(zhuǎn)換過程涉及的細胞生物學機制。2010年回國后主要研究多能性轉(zhuǎn)錄因子以及細胞在不同狀態(tài)（間質(zhì)及上皮）間的相互轉(zhuǎn)化調(diào)控體細胞重編程、細胞轉(zhuǎn)分化以及腫瘤發(fā)生和發(fā)展過程的具體機制，涉及細胞生物學、神經(jīng)生物學、表觀遺傳學、腫瘤以及藥理學。?
鄭輝研究員及其團隊在早期研究中揭示了EMT/MET對體細胞重編程的重要調(diào)控作用（Nat Cell Biol，2013），并提出了“EMT-MET調(diào)控細胞命運”的重要理論（Cell Res，2014；Protein & Cell，2014），受到領(lǐng)域內(nèi)的廣泛認可。2017年，利用該理論成功指導成纖維細胞向神經(jīng)細胞轉(zhuǎn)分化的研究（Cell Discovery, 2017）。此后，圍繞EMT對多能性和神經(jīng)譜系細胞命運的調(diào)控作用，從細胞能量代謝和DNA甲基化兩個角度開展研究。一方面，揭示了細胞能量代謝與EMT之間的正反饋調(diào)控對多能性重建的時間依賴性調(diào)控機制，建立了獲得新型多能干細胞的技術(shù)體系（EMBO J，2020，封面）。另一方面，揭示了DNA甲基化與EMT之間的負反饋調(diào)控機制，建立了通過影響DNA甲基化調(diào)控細胞命運的新技術(shù)體系（Cell Reports，2020；Cell Discovery,?2019；JBC, 2018）。在多能性重建和神經(jīng)細胞轉(zhuǎn)分化的過程中，將EMT、細胞能量代謝以及DNA甲基化有機地整合了起來。目前，鄭輝研究員及其團隊正嘗試在更多細胞命運轉(zhuǎn)換過程中整合細胞更多類型的變化，繪制細胞命運的普適性調(diào)控模型。
鄭輝研究員曾作為負責人承擔過或正在承擔包括國家自然科學基金（創(chuàng)新研究群體-核心成員、重大科學研究計劃-集成項目、廣東省-NSFC聯(lián)合基金-重點項目、優(yōu)秀青年科學項目、面上項目、青年項目等）以及中國科學院先導科技專項（子課題負責人）在內(nèi)的多項國家以及省市級科研項目。鄭輝研究員目前合計發(fā)表52篇論文，作為通訊作者或者共同通訊作者發(fā)表論文36篇（Nat Cell Biol, EMBO J, PNAS, Cell Reports, Biol Psychiatry, Neuropsychopharmacol, J Neurosci等），作為第一作者發(fā)表論文1篇（除去同時是通訊作者的論文），作為共同作者發(fā)表論文15篇。合計影響因子超過300，合計引用次數(shù)超過1500次，合計他引次數(shù)超過1200次。鄭輝研究員獲得2017年中國科學院杰出科技成就獎-重要成員（7/17），2018年國家自然科學獎二等獎（4/5），2018年廣東省自然科學獎二等獎（1/10）。
鄭輝博士現(xiàn)擔任IUBMB Life, Frontiers in Cellular Endocrinology等國際性學術(shù)雜志的編委。同時曾擔任國際干細胞研究學會（ISSCR）2014年年會摘要評審、國家自然科學基金項目評審、香港研究資助局（RGC）項目外部評審、科技部創(chuàng)新人才推進計劃評審。
指導碩士研究生12名，博士研究生8名。其中，2名畢業(yè)生已晉升副研究員。2019年畢業(yè)博士研究生（孫昊）：在學期間獲得中國科學院杰出科技成就獎（14/17）；畢業(yè)時獲得“優(yōu)秀畢業(yè)生”、“地奧二等獎學金”；畢業(yè)后已晉升副研究員，獲得國家自然科學基金青年項目支持。2018年畢業(yè)博士研究生（梁麗寧）：留院后先后成為特別研究助理和副研究員，獲得中科院特別研究助理項目和國家自然科學基金青年項目支持。培養(yǎng)的研究生（在學期間）作為第一或者通訊作者合計發(fā)表25篇論文（Nat Cell Biol, EMBO J, Biol Psychiatry，Cell Reports等），合計影響因子超過200，合計引用次數(shù)超1000次；培養(yǎng)的研究生（在學期間）獲得廣東省自然科學獎二等獎3人次（排名前五）。
