1)簡単なキャリア(研究面・臨床面)
私は1994年に島根医科大学医学部医学科を卒業後、同大学泌尿器科学教室に入局すると同時に、同大学大学院医学研究科機能系専攻博士課程へ進学いたしました。医師として大学病院で臨床研修に励む傍ら、大学院では手始めに、臨床業務終了後に「泌尿器科癌の免疫組織学的研究」を細々と行なっておりました。当時、泌尿器科分野では、癌抑制遺伝子の一つであるvon Hippel-Lindau遺伝子(Vhl遺伝子)の変異について、腎癌での臨床上の意義が明らかになりつつある時期で、私は「泌尿器科癌の多段階発癌」に強く興味を惹かれていきました。大学院の2年目に、網膜芽細胞腫の原因遺伝子であるRb遺伝子「2ヒット・セオリー」で世界的に有名なFox Chase Cancer Center/NCI のKnudson教授の研究室から帰国されたばかりの樋野興夫先生(現順天堂大学分子病理病態学(病理・腫瘍学)教授)の御講演を拝聴したことがきっかけで、彼が当時主宰する癌研究会/癌研究所実験病理部へ国内留学をする機会を頂き、多くの分子生物学的手法を取得し、ヒト結節性硬化症の原因遺伝子の一つで、ラットの遺伝性腎癌の原因遺伝子でもあるTsc2の解析を2年間行いました。その結果をまとめた論文「Somatic mutation of the tuberous sclerosis (Tsc2) tumor suppressor gene in chemically induced rat renal carcinoma cell」で、1998年に島根医科大学より医学博士の学位を授与され、大学院を卒業いたしました。
 大学院卒業後は、母校である島根医科大学(現島根大学医学部)泌尿器科学教室で、井川幹夫教授(現島根大学付属病院長)のもと、助手・講師を拝命頂きました。大学では、大学院で学んだ知識と、臨床での経験を生かして、「去勢抵抗性前立腺癌の発生機序の解明とその治療法の開発」に熱心に取り組み、日本における去勢抵抗性前立腺癌に対するタキサン系抗がん剤の導入に微力ながら尽力させて頂きました。  
また、2004年から2006年までの2年間、カリフォルニア大学サンフランシスコ校泌尿器科へ留学し、大学院時代に培った分子生物学的手法を駆使して、泌尿器科臨床医のバイブルであるSmith’s General Urologyの筆者であるTanagho教授の御指導のもと再生医療の先駆け的研究でもある「acellular matrix graftを用いた脊髄損傷による神経因性膀胱の膀胱再生」についてラットを用いて研究し、同時に泌尿器科基礎研究分野のDahiya教授のもとで癌とエピジェネティクス異常の研究である「泌尿器科癌のWNT阻害蛋白遺伝子群のメチル化異常」にも従事しました。
帰国後は、大学での研究・教育を中心とした生活から、一般病院での臨床を中心とした生活へ転換しようと考えていた時期に、縁あって国内留学中に出入りさせて頂いていた癌研病院泌尿器科の福井巌先生(当時副病院長)に声をかけて頂き、2008年に(財)癌研有明病院泌尿器科医長に採用・赴任することになり、ひたすら多数の泌尿器科癌の手術と薬物療法の経験を積ませて頂くと同時に、臨床的研究(拡大手術と集学的治療の意義)にも没頭し、研鑽を積ませて頂きました。現在は、2014年より虎の門病院泌尿器科で岡根谷利一部長の下、医長を拝命し、幅広く泌尿器科手術を経験させて頂いております。
