Bio
Dr. Shuhei Nomura is an associate professor of health policy and management at the Keio University School of Medicine and an assistant professor of global health policy at the University of Tokyo Graduate School of Medicine. Dr Nomura’s specific areas of expertise include biostatistics, global health policy, official development assistance, comparative risk assessment, and disaster risk management. He is engaged in current iterations of the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) as the Japanese focal point, whose study aims to characterize health risk factors and associated disease burden on a global and national/subnational scale. Dr. Nomura is also actively involved in the national and local governments’ efforts to combat COVID-19 in Japan, analyzing a combination of government survey statistics and private-sector data to provide critical intelligence and evidence on the spread of infection for the planning of countermeasures. Starting in April 2021, Dr. Nomura has been a member of the Global Nutrition Report (GNR)’ s Independent Expert Group. GNR is the world’s leading independent assessment of the state of global nutrition. It is data-led and produced each year to cast a light on where progress has been made and identify where challenges remain.
