董晨教授是美国科学促进会会士、中国科学院院士、国家重点研发计划“精准医学研究”项目负责人、基金委创新研究群体“炎症生物学与疾病”项目负责人。曾获得2009年美国免疫家学会BD Bioscience研究者奖、2019年国际细胞因子与干扰素协会Biolegend-William E.Paul Award奖。现任Frontiers in Immunology•T Cell Biology主编，《中国科学•生命科学》副主编，Immunity、Cell Research等期刊的编委。
Dr. Dong is Professor and Director of the Institute for Immunology at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. He is a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Dr. Dong was Dean of the School of Medicine at Tsinghua University, and he also served as a Professor of Immunology and the Director of the Center for inflammation and Cancer at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center before his move to Tsinghua University.
Dr. Dong’s research is to understand the molecular mechanisms whereby immune and inflammatory responses are normally regulated, and to apply this knowledge to the understanding and treatment of autoimmunity and allergy disorders as well as cancer. The work from Dr. Dong’s group has led to the discoveries of Th17 and T follicular helper (Tfh) cell subsets in the immune system and elucidation of their biological and pathological functions.
Dr. Dong has over 200 publications and was rated highly cited researcher for six years from 2014 to 2019. The honors he has received include the 2009 American Association of Immunologists-BD Bioscience Investigator Award and 2019 International Cytokine and Interferon Society Biolegend-William E. Paul Award. He is a fellow of the American Association for the advancement of Science and a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is currently an Editor for Immunity, Editor-in-chief for Frontiers in Immunology-T Cell Biology and Associate Editor for China Sciences- Life Sciences.
