Associate ProfessorBased on fundamental research in mucosal immunology, I am developing mucosal vaccines that can be administered via the nasal and oral routes. Through the COVID-19 pandemic, I strongly recognized the importance not only of “not becoming infected,” but also of “not transmitting infection to others.” With the goal of realizing practical mucosal vaccines that can block infection at its entry point, I am actively collaborating with many researchers and industry partners.
