I, the author, expressed gratitude for receiving the 45th Juntendo Medical School Alumni Association Academic Encouragement Award in May 2023. After completing medical school and surgical training at Juntendo University, I embarked on a new challenge by pursuing a Ph.D. in basic clinical research, with a focus on gastric cancer, the third leading cause of cancer related death in Japan. Collaborating with various experts, I obtained a Ph.D. in cancer research studies in 2014. Subsequently, I pursued further research opportunities in the United States, where I undertook multiple projects focusing on cancer and maternal stress. I would like to present several studies, ERC/mesothelin, fatty acid synthase, and maternal stress in this manuscript.
On returning to clinical practice at Juntendo University Shizuoka Hospital in 2019, I developed an interest in various clinical issues and decided to address these through experiments. In collaborating with several researchers at the Shizuoka Medical Research Center for Disasters, our ongoing research aims to answer several clinical questions.
Furthermore, I aspire to guide junior staff in the future and am grateful for the invaluable connections and opportunities provided by Juntendo University.
