Currently, I work at Kyoto University Hospital as a neurologist and a clinician-scientist who devotes my efforts to caring for patients with neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and clarifying AD pathogenesis through reverse translational research. My interest in basic research is directed to molecular mechanisms regulating activity-dependent synaptic Aβ production. In addition, a clinical research is setting up to search for a novel brain functional AD biomarker using EEG, since my attention is paid to comorbidity of epileptic seizure in AD patients.
