He obtained his Ph.D. on statistical time series analysis and bioinformatics from the Graduate School of Informatics, Kyoto University. During his doctoral studies, he also co-founded a start-up called "CRUNCHERS Inc.," to bring Information Science together with Art. At CRUNCHERS Inc., he developed a novel evaluation system centered on natural language processing technology and a box-office revenue forecasting system for movies (CRUNCH CINEMA). The start-up transferred its business in January 2015.After his Ph.D., he became an Assistant Professor at Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization, Tohoku University, where he focused on genome wide association study (GWAS) especially for rapid analysis of rare mutations. He also became a technical advisor at Medley inc., where he developed an AI-based (using Bayesian statistical model) medical disease inference system and an influenza-infection prediction system based on time-series data.He moved to an Assistant Professor at the University of Tokyo in 2015, where he had four key focus areas. First, he was involved in the development of a novel statistical methodology for the inference of the internal states of time series data and the prediction of their future states. Second, he focused on cancer-immunogenomics and the development of their analysis tools in the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC). Third, he handled the stratification analysis of GWAS using cohort data, and lastly, he was involved in the predictive analysis of time-series health check-up data integrating blood test values, social status, lifestyle habits, genomic data, and so on.He was appointed to his current position in 2020, where he continues to his previous four areas and started to promote collaborative researches and establish analysis environments/education in Tokyo Medical and Dental University. He also has experience serving on committees and evaluation boards at various ministries and agencies. He has extensive knowledge of labor laws and dispatch law operations at medical sites.
