Institute for Advanced Academic Research / Graduate School of Medicine, Chiba University
Associate ProfessorMy research aims to elucidate the mechanisms underlying autoimmunity and allergy.
In particular:
1) Uncovering the diverse role of IL-21, a pleiotropic cytokine, across various immune reactions and deciphering the regulatory mechanisms behind IL-21 production.
2) Elucidating the functions of Sox family molecules, identified during the process mentioned in 1), in the differentiation of helper T cells and regulatory T cells.
3) Investigating the mechanism of action of methotrexate, a key therapeutic agent for rheumatoid arthritis.
Recent Topics of Interests:
The development and maintenance of IL-17-producing γδT cells (γδT17 cells) and their role in autoimmunity and tumor immunity

Associate ProfessorI conduct research aimed at discovering diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets through integrating clinical information and omics data, such as comprehensive gene expression (transcriptome) and protein expression (proteome) using clinical specimens. Additionally, I work on elucidating the regulatory mechanisms of gene expression during the differentiation process by using cell models.
Recent Topics of Interests: Stratification and prognostication of disease based on omics data
Motto in Research or in Life: Spirit of a rag (a willingness to contribute to society even at the cost of personal sacrifice)
