Joined the lab: April 2005

I completed my M.S. in the School of Allied Sciences , Faculty of Medicine, Tokyo Medical and Dental University (1996) and my Ph.D. in the Department of Infectious Diseases, The Institute of Medical Science in the University of Tokyo (2000). My thesis was on the analysis of host-viral interactions focusing on HIV-1 accessory genes. My current research interest is the study of lymphoid proliferation and development of natural killer cells.
