Self-introduction
I belong to Department of Epidemiology, Infectious Disease Control and Prevention, Institute of Biomedical and Health Sciences Hiroshima University. My former study theme was mathematical statistics, however, I started on the job training of epidemiological research in medical field. Now, research themes in our laboratory are epidemiology of viral hepatitis, promotion of blood donation and others, form two different approach: "dry" and "wet". My research is mainly proceeded from the view of "dry" study.
