I have a strong background in translational breast cancer research in the areas of molecular targeted therapeutics and genomic medicine. In graduate school, I have researched association between genomic abnormalities in breast cancer tissues, and their clinical behavior or their responsibleness to treatment. I have also been seconded to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW), and based on this experience, I have been giving my opinions from a professional perspective as a member of the MHLW’s Council, as well as making policy recommendations regarding Japan’s healthcare administration. I also have a strong interest in clinical research on rare cancers, including soft tissue sarcomas, germ cell tumors and so on. Currently, I am an active physician with experience in conducting clinical trials of both molecularly targeted therapeutics and immunotherapy.
I have experience working for a government agency, so I am interested in policy recommendations for medical policy. I am particularly interested in medical economics, cancer genome medical policy, and palliative medicine.
As for cancer genome medicine, I have obtained public research funding as a primary investigator and am running a clinical trial.As for translational research, I am interested in genomic abnormalities in cancer and predictors of response to immunotherapy in breast cancer and soft tissue sarcoma.
Japan is an island nation with a single language, so our culture has not been predisposed to accepting patients from other countries. However, in response to the trend toward internationalization, I believe it will be my mission to enhance international medical care at the hospital in order to promote more research.
