Dr. Chuan Wu contributions have acclaimed recognition from honourable subject experts around the world. Dr. Chuan Wu is actively associated with different societies and academies. Dr. Chuan Wu academic career is decorated with several reputed awards and funding. Dr. Chuan Wu research interests include 1) T cell differentiation and function 2) inflammation 3) neuron-immune interaction 4) mucosal immune response 5) Cytokine regulation of intestinal peristalsis 6) Reciprocal regulation of colonic Treg cell (cTreg) and enteric neuron 7) Human ENS lineages for cell therapy and drug discovery in humanized colitis model.. Dr. Wu completed his M.D. studies in China at Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, and then studied immunology and matrix biology as a graduate student at Muenster University, Germany. His main focus was T cell migration during the central nervous system (CNS) inflammation. He joined Dr. Vijay Kuchroo’s lab in Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School as a postdoctoral fellow where he studied the molecular regulation of T cell differentiation during inflammation and autoimmunity. In 2017, Dr. Wu started a position as an NIH Stadtman Tenure-Track Investigator at the Experimental Immunology Branch where he studies the cellular and molecular mechanisms of neuro-immune interactions.
