Koki

I graduated from Saga University with a degree of Doctor of Medicine, and completed junior and senior residency program in internal medicine at St. Luke's International Hospital, Tokyo. After obtaining a board certification in haematology, I completed Master of Public Health course at the School of Tropical Medicine and Global Health, Nagasaki University. I am currently a PhD student in the Inequalities in Cancer Outcomes Network (ICON) under the Joint PhD programme between LSHTM and Nagasaki University. My PhD focuses on inequalities in survival outcomes and cancer services around acute myeloid leukaemia in England and Japan.

Teaching

I have an experience supporting the practical session of non-communicable diseases (cancer) module at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). I supporrt a lecture for haematology during the Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (DTMH) course at LSHTM, and deliver two lectures on haematology and global oncology during (DTM&H) course at Nagasaki University, Japan.

Research

I am interested in identifying the inequalities in haematology outcomes and services in high-income countries (HICs), as well as low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). I am also interested in investigating the disease burden, and the current barriers in delivering haematology services in LMICs, and how to overcome those barriers.
