My major research focus is hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) biology and processes that lead to its de-regulation in malignancy. My knowledge and expertise in veterinary medicine allows me to most effectively use animal models for research that have significant translational potential. My current project focus is myeloproliferative neoplasm stem cells driven by the JAK2V617F mutation. We perform in-depth phenotyping of HSC using analytical flow cytometry, transcriptomics, in vivo functional studies using bone marrow transplantation, and in vitro studies of primary HSCs. Through those studies, we aim to uncover the HSC defects that characterize this pre-malignant disease, and understand the process of transformation from normal to the malignant state.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility

As a Japanese immigrant that grew up in Brazil, diversity and inclusion became part of my identity. Professionally, I also find myself as a minority of DVM graduate among PhD and MDs. Those experiences helped shape my commitment to enhance diversity and inclusion in the society and in the workplace, to give a fair chance to all individuals, regardless of their background and social status. An institutional culture that values diversity and inclusion are a foundation for a resilient and vibrant workplace, driving innovation and excellence through challenging of ideas, action, and rewarding on results, not entitlement.
