About me
- I am a medical doctor from Japan. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher
at the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics.
I completed my PhD in Epidemiology in 2019 at London School of Hygiene and
Tropical Medicine. My PhD looked at the contribution of adiposity on carotid
plaques assessed using ultrasound in Russia and Norway. I also hold an MSc
degree in Public Health.
Prior to my doctorate study, I worked as an anaesthesiologist for eight
years in several Japanese hospitals where I was particularly interested in
cardiac anaesthesiology and the assessment of cardiac function using
transoesophageal echocardiography. I also worked as a safety physician at
two pharmaceutical companies.
