Message | Diabetes, which is my expertise, is recognized as one of the underlying medical conditions which make people be at a higher risk of infection including COVID-19: people with diabetes are more likely to get COVID-19 and develop severe COVID-19 outcomes. By learning about how COVID-19 impacts people with diabetes and elucidating its mechanisms, I devote myself to helping people with diabetes lead healthier lives while taking necessary precautions without excessive fear. Moreover, I hope I can contribute to fostering young researchers, promoting, and developing interdisciplinary research as a Vice Dean of the Graduate School of Medicine. |
