Dayong Wu, MD, PhD

Associate Director, Scientist I, Nutritional Immunology Laboratory
Tufts University
Boston, Massachusetts

Dayong Wu obtained his medical degree and Ph.D. in Immunology from Jilin University, Bethune School of Medicine, China. He completed his post-doctoral training in the research area of nutritional immunology at Tufts University. 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. For example, using varied animal models, he has demonstrated that vitamin E can boost T cell-mediated immune function; mushroom can enhance innate natural killer cell activity and efficacy of salmonella vaccination; wolfberry can increase the resistance to influenza infection and also enhance efficacy of flu vaccine; phytochemicals present in green tea and grape fruit can ameliorate autoimmune disease. He has published about 120 research and review articles in his research fields.
