    Moe Takenoshita

    Postdoctoral Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine

    BioI’m a clinician‑scientist with expertise in perioperative care and maternal health, bridging evidence-based medicine, equity, and implementation science.

    I’m currently taking a leading role in a multicenter, longitudinal NIH‑funded study with Stanford University’s Department of Anesthesiology—aimed at improving maternal outcomes. In addition, I lead multiple international research studies in maternal care, with research experience both in the United Kingdom and the United States, giving me valuable cross‑system insights.

    I’m passionate about translating clinical passion into tangible impact, ensuring that technological solutions are designed with the patients' and their communities in mind. If you’re working in perioperative medicine, global maternal health, or translational medicine, let’s connect to explore collaborative opportunities.
