Graduated from Yokohama City University School of Medicine in 2001, and completed the doctoral program at the same university’s Graduate School of Medicine in 2006. After a fellowship in internal medicine and rheumatology, I joined the US NIH/NHGRI Dr. Kastner Lab as a visiting fellow. I am currently working at Yokohama City University Hospital as an adult rheumatologist. My interests include adult autoinflammatory diseases such as Behcet’s disease, VEXAS syndrome, and adult Still’s disease.
