Deguang Song

Dr. Deguang Song is an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Immunobiology at Yale School of Medicine. His research focuses on understanding microbiota-host interactions, particularly in inflammatory bowel disease and immune responses to commensal organisms. He collaborates with researchers across disciplines to investigate microbial metabolites and their impacts on human health.

Research Interests: Song’s work explores how microbial communities influence host immunity, with recent studies highlighting genotoxic metabolites from IBD-associated microbiota and nonlinear immune responses to interspecies interactions. His laboratory contributes to translational research in immunology and microbiology.

Publications: Recent work includes studies on genotoxic metabolites (Science, 2022), nonlinear host immunity (Cell Host & Microbe, 2022), and mutualistic eukaryote interactions (Nature, 2021). These publications reflect themes of microbial ecology and immunological mechanisms.

Lab/Affiliations: Based at Yale’s Immunobiology department, Song’s research aligns with broader initiatives in systems immunology and translational medicine at the School of Medicine.
