Jeonghyeon Moon

Jeonghyeon Moon is a Research Fellow at the Hafler Lab within the Yale School of Medicine at Yale University. He holds a PhD from Seoul National University (2021), an MS from Seoul National University (2017), and a BS from Kyung Hee University (2015). His research focuses on immune mechanisms in autoimmune diseases, cancer immunology, and the role of gut microbiota in inflammatory processes.

• Education:
  • PhD in Immunology, Seoul National University (2021)
  • MS in Biomedical Science, Seoul National University (2017)
  • BS in Life Sciences, Kyung Hee University (2015)

Research Interests: Dr. Moon investigates the interplay between immune cells, microbial communities, and disease pathogenesis. His work explores therapies targeting Th17 cells, STAT3 signaling pathways, and gut-derived metabolites such as butyrate. He has contributed to studies on multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, gastric cancer, and inflammatory bowel disease.

Publications Trends: His recent work emphasizes immune remodeling in cancer therapy responses, gut microbiome influences on autoimmune diseases, and novel therapeutic strategies involving STAT3 inhibition and SCFA modulation. Key themes include translational immunology and systems biology approaches to autoimmune and oncologic conditions.

Labs/Teams: He is affiliated with the Hafler Lab, focusing on neuroimmunology and autoimmune mechanisms in multiple sclerosis. Collaborations span immunology, oncology, and microbiome research.
