Navigating a career while cultivating leadership is a deeply personal journey, and conventional paths may not always serve as the best guide. In this session, Dr. Nozomi Nishimura shares insights drawn from her academic career, highlighting key decision points and the rationale behind them. For individuals who identify as introverts, the path can present unique challenges, particularly in environments that demand visibility and presence.
The webinar explores practical strategies and tips to support professional growth in both academic and broader workplace settings. A recurring theme is the reality that leaders are often in the spotlight. Dr. Nishimura discusses how learning to manage, shape, and become comfortable with that attention has been a significant part of her development. She reflects on her experiences—from overcoming early nerves during scientific presentations to navigating increasingly public-facing responsibilities as a faculty member.

Dr. Nozomi Nishimura
Biography:
Dr. Nozomi Nishimura is an Associate Professor in the Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering at Cornell University, where she develops optical tools to study cellular behavior in vivo during disease progression. She earned her Ph.D. in Physics from the University of California, San Diego, under the mentorship of Prof. David Kleinfeld, focusing on blood flow in the rodent brain and developing laser-based models of small strokes. Dr. Nishimura joined Cornell in 2006 as a postdoctoral researcher and became a faculty member in 2013.
Her lab specializes in intravital multiphoton microscopy techniques that reveal how cells function, move, and interact in living tissues. Injury initiates the recruitment and activation of various immune and inflammatory cell types, which, along with local cells, influence the trajectory of disease. Her research aims to develop imaging methods that can simultaneously visualize and quantify the actions of these diverse cell populations.
While her tools are broadly applicable, Dr. Nishimura has a particular interest in microvascular dysfunction in the brain. Her lab investigates the role of microvascular occlusions in Alzheimer’s disease and neurodegeneration. Recently, her imaging techniques have been adapted to study the beating mouse heart, enabling new insights into single-cell function and cardiac microvasculature.
