Dayong Wu

Dayong Wu's research focuses on how diet and nutrition affect the immune system, inflammation, and oxidative stress, particularly in the context of aging, obesity, and infection. Much of the work uses animal models (mice, rats) to study how dietary components like fruits, vegetables, blueberries, and micronutrients (zinc, iron) influence immune cell function, gut microbiome, metabolic disease, and cognitive health. The research also extends to human clinical trials testing nutritional interventions such as iron and zinc supplementation.
