It was a great opportunity to share our surgical experience with da Vinci SP lobectomy at JUVIG.
Exciting to discuss the future of single-port robotic thoracic surgery!

I had a great opportunity to attend the Japanese Cancer Association Annual Meeting.
My research has become increasingly focused on blood-based extracellular vesicle (EV) biomarkers. While this is a highly specialized area, I believe that this focus has also become one of my strengths as a researcher.
I will continue to build on this strength and move forward toward translating EV-based liquid biopsy into clinically meaningful applications.

Honored to present our work on extracellular vesicle biomarkers for indeterminate pulmonary nodules at the IASLC Academy during #WCLC26 in Seoul.
Excited to continue building international collaborations in lung cancer research.

Our work on extracellular vesicles enabling ultrasensitive detection of NSCLC has been accepted in Clinical and Translational Medicine.

Tissue-derived EV profiling identified GLUT1 enabling circulating detection of lung cancer.

Looking forward to sharing the full study soon.

第10回リキッドバイオプシー研究会に参加し、EVバイオマーカーについて発表しました。
専門性の高い学会で、環境DNAから生息する魚種を推定する研究などもあり、非常に刺激的でした。
分野を越えた「見えないものを捉える技術」の広がりを実感しました。
