Dr. Shuhei Nomura is Associate Professor of Health Policy and Management at Keio University School of Medicine and Assistant Professor of Global Health Policy at The University of Tokyo Graduate School of Medicine. Dr. Nomura is currently engaged in the Global Burden of Diseases Study (GBD), acting as the Japanese focal point, and has been appointed to the GBD Scientific Council since November 2022. The study aims to characterize health risk factors and associated disease burden on a global and national/subnational scale. In 2021, he was also appointed to 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.
Dr. Nomura has been a consultant for the Japan Office of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation since 2018, and a consultant for SEEK Development (a strategic and organizational consulting group based in Berlin) and a member of the Special Commission on Japan’s Strategy on Development Assistance for Health (a Japanese high-level commission organized by Japan Center for International Exchange) since 2019. Dr. Nomura also serves as a research advisor to the World Health Organization Centre for Health Development from 2021. In the same year, he was appointed as a senior fellow at The Tokyo Foundation for Policy Research. In 2022, Dr. Nomura was appointed as a member of the G7 Global Health Task Force to propose the global health agenda for the 2023 G7 Hiroshima Summit, which Japan will host as chair.
Since the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, Dr. Nomura has been engaged in community-based health care and disaster prevention and risk reduction measures as an advisor to hospitals in the affected areas. Dr. Nomura is also actively involved in the national and local government’s 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. Dr. Nomura launched the excess deaths dashboard and operated the chatbot-based healthcare system named COOPERA (COvid-19: Operation for Personalized Empowerment to Render smart prevention And care seeking). He also supervised the Japanese version of the COVID-19 public forecasting model launched by Google. Dr. Nomura’s specific areas of expertise include biostatistics, global health policy, official development assistance, comparative risk assessment, and disaster risk management.
