- Professor, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences
- Immunology of Infectious Diseases
- 1）Regulation of T cell immune responses during infection with malaria parasites.
2）Intravital imaging of the protective immune responses against malaria infection.
3）Mechanisms of the induction and maintenance of T cell memory.
4）Dendritic cell function and T cell activation during Leishmania infection.
If you are to become a researcher or a professional, you have to do something that others cannot. Graduste education will help you to develop those skills. It is critically important that you "think" and have questions. Speak up and ask questions. Then, you will find a new world.

Immunology
▼Recommended books
Janeway's Immunobiology (8th edition)
If I were to recommend only one textbook, I will recommend "Janeway's Immunobiology, 8th edition". This is a well-written standard textbook of in the world.
