Regenerative Medicine Specialist
iA challenger who continues to research treatments for refractory severe heart failure using iPS cell-derived
regenerative medicine
as an alternative to heart transplants.
A pioneer paving the way for the future of regenerative medicine.

Regenerating the “Heart”

This is something that will save many lives and is Professor Tohyama’ s heartfelt mission.
Wi th h i s ye a rs of e xp e ri e n ce i n cardiology and research in regenerative medicine, he is dedicated to providing the best treatment for each and every patient.
As a cardiologist and internal medicine specialist, he brings his expertise to the health screenings at Haneda Clinic.
Professor Tohyama cares for all aspects of cardiology at Haneda Clinic, starting with
the “heart” .
