ProfessorMy research focuses on community systems and care approaches that enable older adults to live independently, safely, and with dignity, regardless of their condition or location. With the goal of creating a Dementia-Friendly Community, I have developed educational programs for dementia awareness that incorporate card games, VR, and drama-based learning materials. These programs are currently being implemented in school and community education to foster the ‘ability to care’ among citizens of all ages.

Associate ProfessorAging causes changes in the function of various tissues. In particular, age-related decline in brain function leads to dementia and a reduced quality of life in older adults. Using small model organisms such as fruit flies and zebrafish, which allow easy access to aged individuals, I aim to elucidate the mechanisms behind the age-related declines in brain function.
