Hi, I'm Yuta.

I'm a medical student + PhD student researching computational immunology.

Medical education

I am obtaining my medical education at University College London. This is currently on pause however, while I conduct my PhD.

My research

My current research focuses on developing a machine learning algorithm that can understand the relationship between the amino acid sequences underlying T-cell receptors (TCRs) and their epitope specificities. My hope is to build such a model and apply it in the investigation of the anti-tumour immune response. For my research/PhD, I work under the supervision of Prof. Benny Chain (UCL) and Prof. Sergio Quezada (UCL Cancer Institute). My PhD is funded by Cancer Research UK, City of London Centre.

My skills

My skills range from medical to computational to creative. For a showcase of my work, please have a look at my work page.

More coming soon!
