Next, I worked as a senior resident at Kyushu Cancer Center hospital in 2006. Then, I researched about cancer stem cells at Medicine and Biosystemic Science, Kyushu University Graduate School of Medical Science.

I got Diplomate, Subspeciality Board of Medical Oncology in 2012, and worked as a chief resident National Cancer Center Hospital, Tokyo. At National Cancer Center Hospital, I researched about esophageal cancer chemotherapy mainly.
