From a young age, I displayed a keen interest in science and mathematics, which guided me toward a path of academic rigor and exploration. As I progressed through my schooling, I developed an unwavering determination to excel in my studies, often staying up late into the night to pore over textbooks and conduct small experiments in my home. 🌳My journey in higher education began at Kyoto University, where I pursued a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Physics. The dual focus allowed me to cultivate a comprehensive understanding of both the natural and physical sciences, laying the groundwork for my future research. The environment at Kyoto University was competitive, pushing me to consistently strive for excellence. My hard work paid off when I was accepted into the university’s prestigious master's program in Biochemistry and Cellular & Molecular Biology. 🌳The transition to graduate school marked a period of intense focus and discipline. I immersed myself in research, driven by the desire to contribute to the scientific community in meaningful ways. This led to my decision to pursue a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Cellular & Molecular Biology at Kyoto University. The doctoral years were filled with challenges, including long hours in the laboratory, complex experimental procedures, and the rigorous process of scientific writing. Yet, these challenges only strengthened my resolve. I successfully defended my dissertation, which centered on the intricate processes of cellular function and replication. 🌳My postdoctoral work took me to the United States, where I joined the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at the University of Colorado Denver. There, I published groundbreaking research that unveiled the mechanisms behind centrosome duplication and its correlation with DNA replication in somatic cells. These findings, published as first-author papers in the renowned journal Science, were celebrated as pioneering contributions that provided new insights into cellular biology and the underlying causes of genomic instability associated with cancer. 🌳After my postdoctoral success, I embarked on a career spanning over 17 years in the pharmaceutical industry. I worked at four global pharmaceutical companies, including Chugai Pharmaceutical (Roche Group), AbbVie, Takeda, and Merck Biopharma. In these roles, I led innovative projects in oncology, designed biomarker studies, and contributed to early and late-stage clinical development. As a Senior Manager and later as a Director of Medical Affairs, I managed and mentored teams, developing a network with leading researchers and key opinion leaders (KOLs) worldwide. 🌳One of my most notable achievements was my leadership in developing clinical strategies for novel cancer therapies, such as the combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors and targeted treatments. My strategic insight and ability to propose original ideas led to successful collaborations and partnerships with global biotechnology firms and academic institutions. I also filed a patent for a novel treatment approach involving p38 MAPK inhibitors in combination with paclitaxel for Ras-mutated cancers, demonstrating reduced side effects and enhanced efficacy. 🌳Throughout my career, I have remained dedicated to advancing scientific knowledge and improving patient outcomes. My work has consistently reflected my commitment to excellence, from conducting high-impact research to mentoring young scientists and contributing to strategic discussions at international conferences. This dedication to science, paired with a desire to innovate and collaborate, has defined my professional journey and solidified my reputation as a leader in the fields of oncology research and medical consulting. 🌳In addition to the professional work mentioned above, I have always valued communication and connecting with people. I enjoy exploring new fields, and with the recent advancements in AI, I discovered AmazingTalker. This platform allows me more time to meet people from around the world who are interested in Japan, as well as Japanese individuals keen on the English-speaking world. I hope to contribute my skills here and make meaningful connections, building friendships along the way. 🌷🌷🌷Matumoto‘s class( English & Japanese) 🌷(4-12 years old): 🌷 Using English and Japanese materials for preschoolers and elementary students for systematic learning.
