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.

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!).
