Biography:

After I gained my PhD in medical science from Osaka University in 2014, I started working as a postdoctoral fellow at MORU under the supervision of Prof. Susanna Dunachie. My current research focus is to construct human monoclonal antibodies against intracellular bacteria, e.g. Orientia tsutsugamushi, for diagnosis and therapy.
