Rate My Professor Nobuo Fuse

Fuse's research focuses on genome science and ophthalmology, including genetic analyses of glaucoma, refractive errors, intraocular pressure, axial length, and other eye diseases via genome-wide association studies in large population cohorts. He contributes to the ToMMo project, involving whole-genome sequencing of over 100,000 Japanese individuals, biobank development, and personalized medicine following the Great East Japan Earthquake. Key publications include 'Genome-Wide Association Study of Intraocular Pressure in Population-Based Cohorts in Japan: The Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization Eye Study' (2025), 'Genome-wide Association Study of Axial Length in Population-Based Cohorts: The Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization Eye Study' (2022), 'The Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization Eye Study' (2022), and 'Molecular genetic analysis of optineurin gene for primary open-angle and developmental glaucoma' (2010). His awards include the Japan Ophthalmological Society Award (2013), Tohoku University School of Medicine Scholarship Award (2010), Suda Memorial Glaucoma Treatment Research Encouragement Fund Award (2008), Japanese Ophthalmological Society Council Award (2012), and Kato Memorial Rare Disease Research Grant Award (2014).
