Message

We are facing with a paradigm shift of epiceimological approaches due to changes in research environment such as big data. I hope my experiecen in clinical and epidemiolgoical training and perspectives from both Japan and US can be somewhat helpful to students in the program. Looking forward to interacting with students, staff and other faculty members in the program.
