Dr. Morizane M.D. Ph.D. is a physician-scientist at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School. He has a long-standing interest in translational research using pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) for kidney diseases and drug discovery.  He has been working on pluripotent stem cell research since 2007 and established protocols to induce kidney lineage cells. His seminal work enabled the generation of nephron progenitor cells and kidney organoids from human PSCs with high efficiency, leading to his NIH Director’s New Innovator Award in 2019.
