I' m Atsushi Okada, MD, PhD. I am an associate Professor of Department of Nephro-urology, Nagoya City University Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Nagoya, Japan. I graduated from Nagoya City University, Medical School (Nagoya, Japan) in 1998 and Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Nagoya City University (Nagoya, Japan) in 2008. I've been working at the university hospital and educating the next generation as a proctor of robot-assisted operation, laparoscopic surgery, ESWL, URS and PNL. In 2000, I started a research on kidney stone formation using experimental animals and developed the first experimental kidney stone model mice. And, I determined suppressive roles of anti-inflammatory macrophages for kidney stone formation by crystal phagocytosis and processing. My current interests focus on the risk diagnosis and molecular-targeted therapy for kidney stones based on the mechanisms of stone formation.
