Biography

Hi! I’m Fumi, a PhD student in Immunology at Stanford Medicine. I’m driven by host-pathogen interactions in infectious diseases, using wet-lab and computational tools to serve communities often neglected by mainstream research.

I am originally from Tokyo, Japan, and I hold a B.S. in Computational Biology from Harvey Mudd College and have conducted research at Scripps Research, Johns Hopkins, and the National University of Singapore.

Always excited to connect—feel free to reach out!
