    Biography

    Dr Takebe was born and raised in Yokohama, Japan and entered medical school at Yokohama
    City University. After spending time as a surgical elective at the world’s leading liver transplant
    center in 2010, he shifted his own career to become a clinician scientist to find alternatives to
    traditional medicine as he met many patients who were unlikely to be treated within current
    paradigm. He earned his M.D. degree at Yokohama City University School of Medicine in 2011.
    His level of scientific productivity and excellence has resulted in his obtaining an independent
    position as associate professor at Yokohama City University in 2013, and appointed as assistant
    professor at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) in 2015. He, as one founder
    and co-directors, recently established world first organoid center, named Center for Stem Cell
    and Organoid Medicine (CuSTOM) with generous philanthropic gifts from the Farmer Family
    Foundation and now establish collaborative programs with Japanese top-tier research institute,
    RIKEN. CuSTOM integrates cutting edge stem cell and organoid technologies to facilitate
    research of human biology and disease, with the goal of translating this knowledge to improve
    pediatric health. Dr. Takebe is also a Principal Investigator at the Takeda-CiRA joint program in
    2016 directed by Novel Laurate Dr Shinya Yamanaka, and jointly appointed as full professor of
    Tokyo Medical and Dental University in 2018 at the age of 31, recorded the youngest in the
    Japanese history of university appointment.

    Dr Takebe’s team became the 1st in the world to create a human liver in-a-dish model
    (vascularized liver organoids) from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. In 2019, team
    succeeded in advancing interconnected multi-organ digestive system from human stem cells
    (Nature, 2013, Nature, 2017, Nature, 2019, Nature Medicine, 2020). His lab also pioneers his
    own proposed "street medical" approach, which aims to lend design and art principles to promote
    happiness-driven healthy behaviors at a daily touchpoint. He is also a book author of: Street
    Medical. Redefining "New Medicine" to Design People's Lives" (Nihon Keizai Shimbun
    Publishing). His major awards include 2014: The Bälz Prize / 2016: the New York Stem Cell
    Foundation Robertson Investigator Award / 2019: Japan Academy Medal / 2020: NIH Director's
    New Innovator Award / 2021 Japan Open Innovation Prize. He is a serial entrepreneur and
    established lab-enabled startups including EVA Therapeutics, The Liver Company, Organoid
    Neogenesis Laboratory, Open Medical Lab, LIVELL, and Kanzo BioMedicine.

    He is also elected a member of American Society of Clinical Investigation (ASCI), elected boards
    of the International Stem Cell Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) and Japan Society for
    Regenerative Medicine (JSRM), and the boards of highly recognized scientific journal such as
    Cell Stem Cell. Dr Takebe is passionate to promote cutting-edge science, enjoy supporting next-
    gen investigators, eager to harness emerging technology and stakeholders, and enjoys
    community building. This recently lend itself to launch a non-profit initiative called “Stellar
    Science Foundation” with a goal to redesign people-centric science eco-system, successfully
    recruiting highly-disruptive Stellar Inventors across disciplines.
