Dayong Wu obtained his medical degree and Ph.D. from Jilin University, Bethune School of Medicine, China, completed his post-doctoral training at Tufts University with Dr. Simin Meydani. He is currently a Scientist I and the Associate Director at the Nutritional Immunology Laboratory, Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research on Aging at Tufts University, and an Associate Professor at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, Tufts University. His research areas include molecular mechanisms of age-related changes in immune cells, and effects of nutrients, dietary components, and functional food on immune and inflammatory responses, T cell-mediated autoimmune disorders, and host resistance to infection. He has conducted numerous studies with broad approach including experimental animal study with various biological and disease models, intervention study in clinical trials, and mechanistic investigation at cellular and molecular levels, and has published 80+ peer-reviewed articles in his research field.
