PROFESSOR
Koji Sasaki, MD, PhD
Professor, Department of Laboratory Medicine / Faculty of Medicine, Institute of Science Tokyo
Our research focuses on leukemia and leukemia-related disorders while extending across malignant diseases more broadly. Building on the extensive laboratory data generated daily by the clinical laboratory, we integrate genomic medicine, medical artificial intelligence, and biobanking to develop next-generation systems for diagnosis, prognostication, and patient safety.

As a cross-disciplinary unit, the clinical laboratory brings together specimens and laboratory data generated across a wide range of clinical services throughout the hospital. This unique perspective enables us to pursue research that transcends traditional disease- and specialty-based boundaries, leading to advances in diagnostics, prognostic modeling, and the quality and safety of patient care.
