Assistant ProfessorI specialize in the study of 17th-century Italian paintings, with a primary focus on the works of Artemisia Gentileschi, one of the most famous female painters of those days. My research delves into her activities in Naples, including her professional strategies, client relationships, and influence on other regional artists. Additionally, I have a keen interest in biographies of female artists from the same era and in portraitures, including self-portraits by female painters.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Naples paintings, Biographies of female artists, Portraiture (Self-portraits)
Motto in Research or in Life:
I try to maintain good health to do more prosperous studies.
Hobby / Holiday:
I spend my time playing with my pet cockatiel at home and taking care of my Medaka (Japanese rice fish).

ProfessorMy research focuses on developing and applying minimally invasive, everyday measurement methods, such as wearable devices and saliva-based testing, alongside advancing AI and mathematical analysis technologies for the early detection and prediction of diseases.
I mainly target infectious diseases, inflammatory diseases, and lifestyle-related illnesses, which often arise and progress due to multifactorial causes. Through the integrating large-scale clinical data, specimen collection, and cutting-edge AI and data science technologies, I purse researching on disease stratification as well as disease onset and prognosis prediction.
Recent Topics of Interest:
・ Health and disease assessment using time-series data (moving beyond single-point test values to gain deeper insights)
・ Dynamic causal inference (potentially valuable for selecting treatments tailored to evolving pathological conditions, transitioning from prediction to intervention).
・ Mathematical optimization (to explore experimental and treatment conditions that have traditionally been determined empirically.)
Motto in Research or in Life:
・ Strategically placing stones towards a big goal.
・ Considering myself as one of the pawns to maximize research outcomes.
・ Students and research fellows are also equal collaborators.
・ The purpose of research is not to gain achievements or fame but to contribute to society by uncovering and implementing the truth.
Hobby / Holiday:
I have enjoyed playing the drums for 20years. I also value spending with my family solving puzzles, including escape games and other challenges.
Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chiba University
ProfessorThe immune system is a sophisticated biological system developed for the defense of an organism, maintaining homeostasis by recognizing and eliminating pathogens and cancer cells through immune cells. In my laboratory, I aim to contribute to developing novel therapeutics for autoimmune diseases, allergies, infections, cancer, and more by focusing on the role of glycans in immune cell trafficking.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Development of novel anti-glycan monoclonal antibodies applicable for the treatment of immune-related diseases such as autoimmune and allergic diseases.
Motto in Research or in Life:
Practice makes perfect.
Hobby / Holiday:
Watching Sports
Graduate School of Engineering, Chiba University
Assistant ProfessorI am involved in research on visualization techniques for medical care, drug discovery, batteries technology, and chemical industry processes using electrical tomography. Electrical tomography enables observation of changes in electrical properties within materials, allowing estimation of properties and condition of cells and batteries. My goal is to drive disruptive innovations in drug discovery and battery technology through this visualization technology.
Recent Topics of Interest:
・Drug discovery and development process
・Visualization of cellular pharmacokinetics
・Process monitoring and real-time control

Graduate School of Medicine, Chiba University
Assistant ProfessorI specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of ankle and foot-related conditions, as well as conducting research in this field.
During my Ph.D. studies, I conducted research on the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a hot topic in sports orthopedics and regenerative medicine, to promote tendon repair following Achilles tendon rupture.
Recent Topics of Interest: Utilization of ultrasound (echo) in foot-related issues.
Motto in Research or in Life: Let’s have fun together.
Hobby / Holiday: Tennis, Family Outing
Graduate School of Engineering, Chiba University
Professor Though liquid crystals (LCs) make people think of LC displays, my laboratory performs a wide range of LC research without limiting the subject to displays.
My goal is to develop new functionalities and applications in LC materials. To achieve this, I conduct research in LC areas such as molecular design, organic synthesis, investigation of molecular assembly states, and performance evaluation.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Developing methods for creating nano-level recording devices and nanostructures, while also searching for materials that exhibit spontaneous optically active.
Motto in Research or in Life:
Let's do what we find fun in both research and work.
Hobby / Holiday:
Spending time with my family and, occasionally, working out

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.
Recent Topics of Interest: Mucosal immunology, Mucosal vaccines

Graduate School of Horticulture, Chiba University
ProfessorI am elucidating the physiological functions of fermented products produced by thermophilic bacteria, which are used to enhance productivity in agriculture, livestock, and fisheries. In addition, I am researching the mechanism of RNA silencing in genetically modified plants and conducting studies that contributes to the safety assessment of genetically modified foods.
Graduate School of Medicine, Chiba University
ProfessorMy research focuses on scientifically investigating the underlying causes of women's health issues, particularly those unique to women, such as menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause. I aim to establish innovative preventive and treatment methods while building evidence to create systems and environments where women can access accurate information and make informed, autonomous decisions about their health. This is especially important for addressing matters related to sexuality and reproductive health.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Basic Medical Science: Research utilizing comprehensive analytical approaches, including multi-omics data, to uncover the mechanisms of gynecological diseases such as endometriosis and to develop novel therapeutic strategies.
Social Medicine: Interdisciplinary research integrating behavioral psychology, neuroscience, and economics to promote behavioral change, with a particular focus on menstrual-related diseases and their impact on working women’s quality of life and labor productivity.
Motto in Research or in Life: Grace under pressure
Hobby / Holiday:
I'd like to say "Work is my hobby", but these days such a response might not be appropriate. Lately, I've been making a conscious effort to do things that will benefit me in the next five years—taking care of my health, learning about things other than medicine, or giving cooking a try for the first time (laugh!).
