Takehiro Tozuka
Research Interests
I am a medical oncologist from Japan, and I am honored to be here as I work toward becoming a physician-scientist. My research interests focus on overcoming resistance to cancer immunotherapy and on developing cellular therapies for various malignancies. Ultimately, my goal is to contribute to the cure of advanced cancers.

Hobbies
In my free time, I love traveling to new places, going to music festivals with friends, and hitting the gym to stay active. These hobbies keep me energized and inspired outside of the lab.
My research interests lie at the intersection of molecular biology and translational science. My current lab position gives me the opportunity to connect fundamental molecular mechanisms to innovative therapeutic strategies. I aim to further explore how cellular and genetic interventions can be leveraged to improve health outcomes and advance medical treatments.
