Biography

Dr. Nagao obtained his M.D. from Keio University School of Medicine in Japan and then joined the Dermatology Department. After completing his residency, he worked at two Keio-affiliated hospitals known for performing intensive care. He then returned to Keio University and started his research career in the field of medical mycology. After obtaining a Ph.D. in 2005, he conducted his postdoctoral research on skin dendritic cells in the lab of Mark Udey, M.D., Chief of CCR’s Dermatology Branch. He then started his independent research at Keio University where he served as a faculty member since 2008. Dr. Nagao joined CCR’s Dermatology Branch as an NIH Earl Stadtman tenure-track investigator in July of 2014.
