I am currently serving as a staff physician and assistant professor at the Emergency Department, Kobe University Hospital. I am also conducting laboratory work as a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Bioregulation and Pharmacological Medicine, at Fukushima Medical University. My time is divided between research (both clinical and laboratory), clinical practice, and teaching. My clinical background is emergency medicine, intensive care medicine, and anesthesiology. My major clinical research interests are: emergency airway management; trauma; emergency surgery; perioperative medicine; and sepsis. My clinical research work has featured in a series of publications [Scand J Trauma Resusc. Emerg Med. 2016;24:106, and J Anesth. 2016;30:644-52]. As a board-certified acute care physician and a board-certified anesthesiologist, I carry out my clinical service at the Emergency Department, Kobe University Hospital. I am also involved in ICU inpatients and in a clinical supervisory role of junior and senior residents. Integrating these multifaceted activities of clinical and basic science research, clinical service, and teaching, I am striving to develop my academic career as a physician-scientist with expertise in airway management, trauma, and sepsis.
