Hidenobu Matsuzaki is a medical doctor and PhD student in infectious disease epidemiology. His research focuses on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), particularly bloodstream infections caused by resistant pathogens such as MRSA and drug-resistant Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pnemoniae.
Using large-scale surveillance and real-world healthcare data from Japan and the United Kingdom, he investigates trends in incidence, mortality, and health burden, with the aim of informing evidence-based public health policy and antimicrobial stewardship. His work combines epidemiological modelling, comparative international analysis, and applied data science.

Research

My research interests lie in infectious disease epidemiology, with a particular focus on antimicrobial resistance (AMR). I am especially interested in understanding the epidemiology and long-term burden of resistant bloodstream infections, including MRSA and drug-resistant Escherichia coli.
I use routinely collected surveillance and real-world healthcare data to investigate trends in incidence, mortality, and resistance patterns across age groups and healthcare settings. My work aims to support evidence-based antimicrobial stewardship and public health policy, with a comparative perspective between Japan and the United Kingdom.
