PhD
Uehiro Research Fellow
Field:Public policy, International Economics, ICT, Equalities
Uehiro Research Division for iPS Cell of Ethics Center for iPS Cell Research and Application (CiRA)

My research interest is exploring the interlinkages between the ethical and economic aspects of emerging biotechnologies for promotion of their clinical translation. I have been working on the dynamic changes in the polarity of values in bioethics, which extend beyond the tangible value and cost from the ethical, social, and policy perspective. I would like to explore the potential of forms of cooperation and competition in the development of new drugs for intractable diseases and personalized medicine using iPS cells.
