Lecturer / Clinical Associate ProfessorI am currently conducting research aimed at unraveling the pathogenesis of uterine fibroids. Through animal experiments, I have successfully demonstrated that the simultaneous presence of sex steroid hormones, estrogen and progesterone, secreted by the ovaries, is essential for the enlargement of uterine fibroids. Furthermore, I have elucidated the mechanism by which uterine fibroids develop and expand under conditions of hypoxia.
Moving forward, my research will focus on the development of novel treatments for uterine fibroids.

Distinguished ProfessorAfter graduating from the Nihon University’s School of Dentistry at Matsudo in 1977, and during the time of the doctoral program in medical sciences at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) in 1983, I started my significant research career by contributing to the launch of the “Mucosal Immunology” as a scientist at the UAB and the Max Planck Institute for Biology. While pursuing my research career as an immunologist, especially in the advancement of mucosal immunology and vaccinology, I also trained and educated the next-generation physician-scientists, students, and researchers as a professor at UAB, Osaka University and the University of Tokyo, and now University of California San Diego (UCSD) and Chiba University. In addition to my research and academic careers, I also contributed my expertise to leading the Institute of Medical Science as Associate Dean and Dean at the University of Tokyo,
My background as a dentist combined with extensive research experience in the field of Mucosal Immunology makes me exceptionally well qualified to lead and advance the current and future directions of mucosal immunology and mucosal vaccine development. I and my research team has also actively facilitated the development of the next-generation vaccines, the oral and nasal vaccines, which are now in critical pre-clinical and clinical trial stages.
These include efforts in developing practical applications such as “MucoRice,” the rice-based oral vaccine, and the “cationic nanogel” nasal vaccine. Currently, I am dedicated to advancing the practical development of “oral and nasal vaccines” at Chiba University.

ProfessorMy research interest in analyzing lipid peroxides and drug poisons was sparked by my involvement in detecting sarin metabolites from the victims of the Tokyo subway sarin attack in 1995. Furthermore, I have been at the forefront of introducing postmortem imaging diagnosis with CT in forensic medicine in Japan. Additionally, I have conducted extensive research on death investigation systems and postmortem imaging examinations.
Recent Topics of Interests:
How to prevent similar accidents, suicides, abuse, and other unnatural deaths by utilizing the information obtained from death investigations (such as child death review).
How to establish a system and a mechanism for accurately determining the cause of death by appropriately utilizing various examinations such as postmortem imaging, autopsy, and drug testing.
