Biography:

I’m from the Department of Anatomy and Developmental biology at Tokyo Women’s Medical University (TWMU) in Tokyo, Japan.
I graduated from Nippon Dental University in 1999.
After graduating, I begun to work in the Department of Oral & Maxillofacial surgery at TWMU.
In 2004, I started a PhD course in the Department of Anatomy and Developmental biology at TWMU, focusing on cancer research.
I presented my thesis on “Characterization of tumor angiogenesis in B16 melanoma” in 2008.
My hypothesis is that by treating tumor blood vessels and tumor microenvironment, we can reduce tumor volume and we can stop the metastasis.
During Ph.D. course, I had this idea and then I read Dr. Rakesh Jain’s paper on “Normalization of tumor vasculature”, so I was greatly influence by this paper.
Now, I am striving to develop my academic career as an anatomist with expertise in oncology from a morphological aspect at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School and TWMU.
