KYOTO UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL Program-Specific Assistant Professor, University Hospital
After graduating from Kyoto University School of Medicine in 2010, I completed both clinical training in hematology and graduate studies at Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine. Under the mentorship of Professors Akifumi Takaori and Michiyuki Matsuda, I obtained my PhD in 2019, focusing on intravital imaging of cell-cell interactions in thymic tissue. I subsequently expanded this research to tumor immune microenvironment studies.
Since 2021, I have been conducting research at the Ghobrial Laboratory, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, where I focus on human immunology in plasma cell neoplasms using single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial immune profiling approaches. My research has been recognized with several awards, including the 2022 Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation Research Fellow Award and the 2024 International Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia Foundation Robert A. Kyle Career Development Award, and the 2025 Japanese Society of Myeloma Research Award. Since April 2025, I have been leading a research group, working on the bone marrow immune microenvironment and human immunology resaerch.
