One Question, 10 Years: From Clinical Observation to International Consensus

Tuesday, Oct. 13, 4-5 p.m.

CSF-1302

The Faculty of Science, Computer Science department is hosting a public lecture with Dr. Hajime Yamazaki, MD, PhD, Associate Professor, Kyoto University.

Date: October 13, 2026

Time: 4 p.m. – 5 p.m.

Location: Core Science Facility, CSF-1302

One Question, Ten Years: From Clinical Observation to International Consensus

In 2014, while performing endoscopic ultrasonography at a community hospital in northern Japan, Dr. Yamazaki noticed fat accumulation within the pancreas—now termed intrapancreatic fat deposition (IPFD). This observation raised the question: What is the clinical significance of IPFD?

This lecture will describe how this question grew over more than a decade through a variety of research methods and collaborations, and will illustrate how a feasible, novel, and clinically important research question can be nurtured over time.
