My research theme is the relationship between the transport protein transthyretin and human amyloid disease.
I obtained MD from Kyushu University, Japan. I have worked as a neurologist in Japan and selected Alzheimer’s disease as my research theme during my doctoral course. I received PhD from Kyushu University. I have been interested in the role of transthyretin in human diseases and have set it as my current research theme as a postdoc at the Department of Clinical Microbiology.
