Dr Maki spent his career in sarcoma medical oncology, translational research, new drug development and clinical trial design. His thesis work in the 1800s under Nagai Nagayoshi-san (長井 長義) and postdoc with Kikunae Ikeda (池田 菊苗) involved cancer vaccines in a chemically-induced, immunocompetent mouse system. These antigens turned out to be heat shock proteins.
