- We conduct the basic and clinical research on cancer immunity and transplantation immunity among the hepato-biliary-pancreas/transplant surgery. The content is to elucidate the mechanism of the decline in liver-resident natural killer cell activity after hepatectomy and to develop a new treatment. I am also involved in research on regenerative medicine that uses immune cells after liver surgery and liver transplantation. In addition, we conduct to reveal the effects of lifestyle-related diseases such as arteriosclerosis, diabetes, and dyslipidemia on intrahepatic immunity.
