PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Oct. 1993 - Feb. 1994 Research Student in Osaka University Medical

School

Description: This course is a pre-Ph.D. program. This program trains Ph.D.

student candidates for proper scientific orientation, including the

scientific method.

Feb. 1994 - Feb. 1998 Ph.D. program in Osaka University Medical School

Description: During this period, I was involved in clarifying the role of

a new molecule. This molecule is related to the disease kinetics of

Rheumatoid Arthritis. I found this molecule is upregulated in severe

Rheumatoid Arthritis patients. I worked closely with my mentor and a

technician.

Feb. 1995 - Feb. 1997 Teaching Assistant in Osaka University Medical

School

Description: Performed lectures to the students of the Medical school for

Immunology and Cell Biology.

Apr. 1998 - Mar. 2003 Postdoctoral fellowship, Trudeau Institute,

Saranac Lake, NY

Description: Major duty of this job was designing and clarifying the role

of CD40, including making decisions on the direction of research.

Publication and presentation in scientific conferences was also a major

activity.

Apr. 2003 - Mar. 2005 Research Scientist, Trudeau Institute, Saranac

Lake, NY

Description: Designed the majority of research project, and distributed

assignments to other scientific staff members. Engaged in collaborations

with other scientists at different institutions. Publication and

presentation in scientific conferences was also a major activity.

Apr. 2005 - Mar. 2012 Assistant member, Vaccine Research Institute, San

Diego, CA

Description: Manage a laboratory as a principal Investigator. Write

government research grants mainly for NIH research programs. Design own

research project, and distribute assignments to other scientific staff

members. Engage in collaborations with other scientists at different

institutions. Publication and presentation in scientific conference is

crucially included.

April. 2012 - Present Adjunct faculty, Vaccine Research Institute, San

Diego, CA

Description: Manage a laboratory as a principal Investigator as part time.

Write government research grants mainly for NIH research programs. Design

own research project, and distribute assignments to other scientific staff

members. Engage in collaborations with other scientists at different

institutions. Publication and presentation in scientific conference is

crucially included.
