Head of Center

Department of Medicine School of Medicine Doctor (medicine), doctor. After working at the Internal Medicine of Nephrology and Endocrinology, Teikyo School of Medicine Hospital, he is a managing director, vice President, and professor of School of Medicine at Teikyo Professor.

The ratio of female Assistant Professor and Senior Assistant Professor is 30-40%, while that of Associate Professor and Professor has dropped to the 10% level. A great loss to the future in the sense of the disappearance of research opportunities that may have made a contribution to society in the future.
In order to support research activities, the Female Doctor / Researcher Support Center has established a support system focusing on "time" such as a childcare facility use support system and babysitter support.
In order for women to acquire management skills with an eye on research life and family life in the future, we have introduced a system that allows women to consult about work life studies and careers.
Creating an environment in which female researchers can play an active role affects not only time but also the thinking of "gender role division between men and women." Women's work style reform is to consider the work-life balance of men and women, which leads to the promotion of diversity (diversity of work styles) and the realization of gender equality.
