Michitaka Nakano
Basic Life Research Scientist, Medicine - Med/Hematology
BioI am a MD/PhD postdoctoral fellow and medical oncologist with a long-standing interest in translational cancer research. My long-term goal is to be a lab-based physician-scientist and independent academic researcher, translating basic cancer research, and mentoring next-generation scientists. My thesis work in Japan focused on cancer stem cell equilibrium by uniquely applying organoid culture as a method to elucidate cancer stem cell dynamics, which was awarded in Japanese Cancer Association. Along with the development of the field represented by success in T cell checkpoint, my interest gradually shifted to immune oncology while I examined numerous numbers of cancer patients as a medical oncology fellow. My postdoctoral fellowship at Calvin Kuo Lab in Stanford (2019-present) focuses on tumor immune microenvironment. Kuo lab developed a unique 3D air-liquid interface (ALI) organoid system that cultures tumors while preserving their endogenous infiltrating immune cells (T,B ,NK, Myeloid cells). My postdoctoral work will prove the significance of organoids as a translational tool to discover tumor-immune interaction by novel checkpoint inhibitors for immune cells, which can be broadly applicable to basic cancer biology, precision medicine, therapeutics validation and biomarker discovery.

Ron Nakao
Librarian for Social Science Data, Economics and Political Science, Social Sciences Resource Group
BioI am responsible for purchasing Library materials and resources, such as books, journals, and data to support research and teaching in economics and political science. Contact me if you have questions about our economics, political science or social science data collections.
I am Stanford's Representative to two Social Science Data Archives, the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) and the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research (Roper) and can help you access their collections and resources.
I can assist you in preparing your research proposal's Data Management Plan (DMP) and can work with you to document and share your data with other researchers (http://data.stanford.edu/) and preserve it for the long-term in the Stanford Digital Repository (https://sdr.library.stanford.edu/). -
Yusuke Nakauchi, MD, PhD
Basic Life Research Scientist, Stem Cell Bio Regenerative Med Institute
BioMy research projects aim to investigate the biology of human leukemia. I believe my research will contribute to clarify the disease pathogenesis of leukemia and help identify the critical cells to target to both prevent the development of de novo leukemia and halt relapse.
