Expertise:  Biology--specifically cell biology and cancer biology

How did you get involved with the Sasakawa Peace Foundation?  

I was a Resident SPF Fellow at Pacific Forum CSIS. I looked for new ways for the United States and Japan to cooperate on improving global health and proposed policy recommendations for U.S.-Japan collaboration on combating antimicrobial resistance.

 

What work did you do as part of SPF Tokyo? I did research as an SPF Fellow. I conducted interviews with Japanese experts including professors and government officials to learn about what areas Japan and the United States were already cooperating on, and looked for new areas of potential cooperation.
