My Biography & Research

Biography

Dr. Takebe is an assistant professor at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. His lab is developing and applying mini-organ technologies from human stem cells – namely organ bud transplants – in patients with a rare congenital metabolic disorder, ultimately expanding the clinical applications to diseases like liver cirrhosis. Also, he holds a joint appointment at the Department of Regenerative Medicine, Yokohama City University in Japan, where he directs a translational program of human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) based liver bud based approach for congenital liver disorders by developing a cGMP manufacturing platform.

Dr. Takebe successfully administered more than six nationally funded projects, awarded number of prestigious awards such as NYSCF robertson investigator award, and produced high impact peer-reviewed publications from each project. His recent associate professor appointment, at the age 26, was one of the youngest recorded in Japan.
