I'm a neurologist and a gerontologist, and currently Vice Director in the Center for Comprehensive Care and Research on Memory Disorders, National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology, Japan. I received a Ph.D. in the geriatric medicine and internal medicine from the Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, Japan under the supervision of Prof. Koichi Yokono. After I received the doctorate, I studied stroke medicine and worked as a Lecturer and an Associate Professor in the Department of Stroke Medicine, Kawasaki Medical School, Japan. My research interests: the interrelationship between cerebrovascular diseases and cognitive dysfunction, the common risk factors for stroke and dementia such as arterial stiffness, atrial fibrillation, cerebral small vessel diseases, and gut microbiome.
