Bio
Dr. Taniguchi graduated from the Medical School, National Mie University, in 1984 and worked as a pediatrician specializing in pediatric infectious diseases and vaccinology. He participated in a collaborative research project in Ghana in 1992–95, then joined the National Institute of Infectious Diseases (NIID) in Tokyo working on infectious disease surveillance and response. In 2000, he was dispatched to WHO headquarters and worked on international infectious disease surveillance and control. After returning to NIID, he resumed the activities for infectious disease control in response to such outbreaks as SARS and avian influenza. After moving to his current position, he has been working on clinical practice and infectious disease research.
