Azusa Terasaki
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioAzusa Terasaki, MD, PhD, is a Postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Pathology at Stanford University School of Medicine. Her research focuses on tumor immunology and cancer metabolism, with a particular interest in mitochondrial transfer between cancer and immune cells and its role in immune suppression and metastasis.
Dr. Terasaki received her medical degree and PhD in Japan, where she completed her surgical training and is a board-certified surgeon with additional certifications as a breast specialist and in cancer therapy. During her clinical career, she developed a strong interest in translational research that bridges fundamental discoveries and patient care.
Her current work investigates how cancer cells reprogram immune cells through organelle transfer, integrating imaging, flow cytometry, and multi-omic approaches to uncover novel mechanisms of tumor–immune interaction. Her goal is to identify new therapeutic targets and biomarkers to improve cancer treatment outcomes. -
