Institute for Advanced Academic Research / Graduate School of Medicine, Chiba University
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.
