After graduating from Kochi University School of Medicine in 2003, I completed my residency and chief residency at St. Luke's International Hospital in Tokyo. I then pursued specialized training in cardiology at Sakakibara Heart Institute in Tokyo. Following this, I earned a PhD from Chiba University, where I focused on the clinical and research aspects of cardiac ultrasound. In 2012, I joined the Echocardiography Lab at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston as a Research Fellow. Since 2015, I have been actively involved in imaging at Teikyo University in Tokyo. My research fields are diverse, including SHD echocardiography, radiation protection, and molecular biology echocardiography. I have published numerous papers across these areas.
