Yuzuru Ikehara (Chiba University, Japan)

The feasibility of using ions and charges in the medical field.

Yuzuru Ikehara received his medical doctor's license in 1994 and his Ph.D. in Pathology in 1998 (Shiga Univ. Med. Sci.). Since 2015, he has been a Professor at the Department of Pathology of the Graduate School of Medicine at Chiba University, Japan. He discovered the phenomenon of soluble protein aggregation in response to the charge provided by non-equilibrium atmospheric pressure plasma and developed hemostatic equipment that incorporates this principle. Based on these successes, he has started next-generation interdisciplinary research projects covering a fused area of plasma science and medicine, which should be called "electrostatic pathology." The International Society for Plasma Medicine awarded him the "Plasma Medicine Awads" in 2022.
