After graduating from the Graduate School of Bioscience and Biotechnology at Tokyo Institute of Technology (currently Institute of Science Tokyo), he joined JAFCO in April 2015. In the Industry-Academia Life Science Investment Group in the Venture Investment Division, he has been engaged in investment and post-investment support specializing in R&D-type startups. In addition, as a business promoter in the START project of the Japan Science and Technology Agency, he is also working to support the commercialization of the seeds of technology originating from universities. He has been a leader of the Industry-Academia Life Science Investment Group since April 2024.
Together with entrepreneurs and researchers, I will continue to commit myself to “the challenge of creating new industries” from innovative technologies created at universities.
