Tokyo Medical and Dental University
Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan
I completed my master's degree in Biomedical Precision Engineering at the University of Tokyo's Faculty of Engineering and Graduate School in 2005. I then transferred to Tokyo Medical and Dental University's Faculty of Medicine as an undergraduate student, where I had the opportunity to study abroad at prestigious institutions like Imperial College London and Harvard Medical International.
After graduating in 2009, I underwent specialized training in neurosurgery at Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Tokyo Metropolitan Bokutoh Hospital, and the Disaster Medical Center. In 2015, I obtained board certification in neurosurgery in Japan. In 2017, I earned a Doctor of Medicine degree from Tokyo Medical and Dental University and joined the university as an assistant professor.
From 2019, I conducted pioneering research on brain tumors at the Department of Neurosurgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, specifically focusing on oncolytic virus research in the Wakimoto Lab. In 2022, I returned to Japan and resumed my position as an assistant professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at Tokyo Medical and Dental University, where I also serve as the chief manager of the department.
My research is centered on the intersection of medicine and engineering, with a particular emphasis on malignant brain tumors. I am deeply involved in developing innovative brain tumor surgery support systems utilizing techniques such as 5-ALA-induced fluorescence-guided surgery.
Throughout my career, I have strived to bridge the gap between medical science and cutting-edge technology, and I am committed to advancing the field of neurosurgery for the betterment of patient care and outcomes.
