Tomokazu Sumida received his MD from Chiba University School of Medicine in Japan in 2004, completing his residency and subsequently his fellowship in cardiology. He practiced as a cardiologist in Japan, obtaining his PhD in 2012 with research focusing on the interface of the immune system and cardiovascular disease. To enhance his understanding of basic and translational immunology, he joined Dr. David Hafler's lab at Yale University in 2015 as a postdoctoral fellow. His research primarily involves understanding the molecular mechanisms that drive T cell dysfunction, particularly regulatory T cells, in human diseases. To achieve this, he employs cutting-edge technologies such as single-cell multi-omics, ATAC-seq, and CRISPR gene editing. He was appointed assistant professor in the Department of Neurology at Yale in 2020. Recently, he has been involved in numerous research projects and has presented his work in various prestigious forums.
