Takumi Nishimura
Affiliate, Law School
Visiting Scholar, Rule of Law ProgramBioTakumi Nishimura is a visiting scholar from Japan. Before coming to the U.S., he served as a judge for 7 years. He has extensive practical experiences across civil law cases, administrative law cases, family court cases, juvenile cases, bankruptcy cases, provisional remedy cases and civil execution cases, though most of his career has been in criminal cases.
During his one-year visit sponsored by his home country, he is researching the future influence of technological innovation on Japanese judicial system. His research focuses on judicial authority and the justification of judicial decisions - a field connected to legal philosophy, rule of law and constitutional law. In order for his research, he uses a comparative method, investigating the actual conditions of local judiciaries and considering judicial history, informed by his own practical experience.
Shortly after graduating from Kyoto University in 2016, he earned remarkably high mark (11th out of 6000) on the 2017 bar exam. After a one-year training term as a legal apprentice, he has served as a judge since 2019 in multiple district courts in western Japan (Under the Japanese judicial system, most judges are appointed from legal apprentices and spend most of their careers as a judge). -

Ryan Nitta
Sr Res Scientist-Basic Life, Neurosurgery
Current Role at StanfordThe main project of the Li lab is to elucidate the signaling pathways responsible for maintaining and initiating brain tumor growth. Previously the Li lab has identified an interesting protein, known as casein kinase 2, which plays an integral role in adult brain tumor growth. My goal is to expand on this initial finding and determine if casein kinase 2 could be a therapeutically relevant drug target in adult brain tumors and whether this protein plays a role in pediatric brain tumors. The role of the candidate would be the lead researcher on these projects, as well as managing and leading the undergraduate and medical students in the lab. In addition, I am responsible for maintaining the laboratory and assisting in grant writing.
