SHOICHIRO SUMI, MD, Ph.D, CLINIC DIRECTOR
My name is Shoichiro SUMI, Director of AL CLINIC. I am from the Institute for Viral Biology and Regenerative Medicine, Kyoto University. My specialty is regenerative medicine, and I have been working on bio-artificial pancreatic islets, which are organs for islet transplantation that do not require immunosuppression, at the Institute for Frontier Medical Sciences. I have been a regular member of the Pancreas and Islet Transplant Study Group (now the Pancreas and Islet Transplant Society of Japan) since its inception. My mentor, who organized the first Japanese Society for Regenerative Medicine. So I was given the opportunity to serve as the secretary-general of the first Japanese Society for Regenerative Medicine. Because of this, regenerative medicine has become my specialty. I am a surgeon by training, but I believe that this is the perfect discipline to take on the completely new field of anti-aging. Patients may come to me in a variety of situations, and I hope that I can provide the best medical care in each of these situations.
AYAKO YANAGISAWA, MD, Ph.D, DEPUTY CLINIC DIRECTOR
In today’s society, we are inundated with information that appears and disappears at a rapid pace, telling us that we can become healthy by doing so. What is important is to correctly discern the latest research results that current science has discovered, and to have the skills to implement them and build a lifestyle that you can maintain. The technology necessary to incorporate these things into one’s lifestyle without difficulty is being researched all over the world. I believe that nothing would make me happier than if all of our staff could assist you in incorporating these new breakthroughs into your daily life in an easy-to-understand and effortless way.
