Dr. Ian Ferguson is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Pediatric Rheumatology) at Yale School of Medicine, Yale University. He serves as the Interim Section Chief of Pediatric Immunology and Rheumatology at Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital, leading specialized care for pediatric immune dysregulation disorders. Dr. Ferguson earned his MD from New Jersey Medical School (2009), completed residency at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children (2015), and fellowship training at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh (2015).
His research investigates the immunobiology of autoimmunity development and regression, with emphasis on T-cell mechanisms in innate immunity. Clinical interests include juvenile idiopathic arthritis, lupus, and optimizing long-term outcomes for pediatric autoimmune patients. He prioritizes translating clinical insights into research to advance symptom-free management strategies.
Dr. Ferguson’s 2022 co-authored publication in JACC Cardiovascular Imaging analyzed myopericarditis outcomes post-COVID vaccination, reflecting his focus on immune-related adverse events. This work intersects cardiology, vaccine safety, and autoimmune pathophysiology.
Honors:
- Arthritis Foundation Medical Honoree (2023)
He actively presents research at national/international forums including the CDC’s Clinical Immunization Safety Assessment, EULAR Annual Meeting, and American Association of Immunology conferences.
