Prior to this transition, he spent 19 years to Children\u2019s National<br \/>\nHospital in Washington, DC, where he served as a Principal Investigator at the Center for Neuroscience<br \/>\nResearch and Director of the Cardiac Surgery Research Laboratory, and held the Foglia-Hills Chair for<br \/>\nPediatric Cardiac Research.<br \/>\nDr. Ishibashi earned his medical degree from Gunma University School of Medicine in Japan in 1998. He<br \/>\ncompleted clinical training in Surgery, Cardiovascular Surgery, and Pediatric Cardiac Surgery at the Heart<br \/>\nInstitute of Japan, Tokyo Women\u2019s Medical University, obtaining certifications from both the Japanese Board of<br \/>\nSurgery and the Japanese Board of Cardiovascular Surgery. He further advanced his research training through<br \/>\na postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for Neuroscience Research at Children\u2019s National Hospital.<br \/>\nHis research focuses on understanding the impact of congenital heart disease (CHD) and subsequent cardiac<br \/>\nsurgery on brain development. As Principal Investigator on multiple NIH- and DoD-funded grants, Dr. Ishibashi<br \/>\nutilizes advanced neuroscience techniques and clinically relevant animal models to study neurodevelopment.<br \/>\nHe is particularly recognized for pioneering work on the relationship between the subventricular zone and<br \/>\ncortical growth in CHD, earning distinction in both the cardiovascular and neuroscience fields.<br \/>\nDr. Ishibashi&#39;s ultimate goal as a clinician-scientist is to improve treatment strategies and develop novel<br \/>\ntherapeutics to mitigate neurodevelopmental impairments in children with CHD. His translational research<br \/>\nprogram has achieved key milestones, including the development of the NIH-funded Phase 1 MeDCaP clinical<br \/>\ntrial at Children\u2019s National Hospital. This trial, which he led as Principal Investigator, demonstrated the safety<br \/>\nand feasibility of a cell-based therapeutic approach.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"news\" href=\"https:\/\/ishibashilab.com\/\">Lab Site<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-4\">\n<div class=\"block-pad\">\n<div class=\"block\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">RESEARCH:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Developmental brain injury, Neurodevelopment, Congenital heart disease<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">OFFICE:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">EMAIL:<\/p>\n<p>nishibas@bu.edu<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/anatneuro\/faculty\/\" class=\"btn\" style=\"width: 60vw;\"><br \/>\n  <span class=\"gradient-btn\">Faculty<\/span><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<p>article.post-12287 {\n   display: none;\n}<\/p>\n<p>\/* ----------------Blocks---------------- *\/<\/p>\n<p>.block {\n    background-color: #ffffff;\n    padding: 15px;\n    margin: auto;\n    height: 350px;\n    width: 300px;\n    border-radius: 3px;\n    align-items: center;\n    z-index: 2;\n    box-shadow: -50px 0 100px -50px #808080, 50px 0 100px -50px #808080;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.block-pad {\n    margin-top: 20px;\n    margin-bottom: 20px;\n}<\/p>\n<p>@media only screen and (min-width: 760px) {\n\t.block {\n\t\twidth: 300px;\n             height: 350px;\n\t}\n}<\/p>\n<p>.block h1 {\n    padding-bottom: 5px;\n    font-size: 24px;\n    text-align: center;\n}<\/p>\n<p>\/* ----------------Profile---------------- *\/<\/p>\n<p>.side-info {\n    background-color: #ffffff;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.universal-pad {\n    margin: 25px;\n    margin-left: 10vw;\n    margin-right: 10vw;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.firstinfo{\n  display: flex;\n  justify-content: center;\n  align-items: center;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.content1 {\n  position: relative;\n  animation: animatop 0.9s cubic-bezier(0.425, 1.14, 0.47, 1.125) forwards;\n  margin-left: 12vw;\n  margin-top: 10px;\n  margin-bottom: 10px;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.card {\n  width: 70vw;\n  min-height: 100px;\n  padding: 20px;\n  border-radius: 3px;\n  background-color: white;\n  box-shadow: 0px 10px 20px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);\n  position: relative;\n  overflow: hidden;\n}\n.card:after {<\/p>\n<p>}<\/p>\n<p>.firstinfo {\n  flex-direction: row;\n  z-index: 2;\n  position: relative;\n}\n.firstinfo img {\n  display: none;\n}\n.firstinfo .profileinfo {\n  padding: 0px 20px;\n}\n.firstinfo .profileinfo h1 {\n  font-size: 35px;\n}\n.firstinfo .profileinfo h3 {\n  font-size: 20px;\n  color: #262262;\n  font-style: italic;\n}\n.firstinfo .profileinfo p.bio {\n  padding: 10px 0px;\n  color: #5A5A5A;\n  line-height: 1.2;\n  font-style: initial;\n}<\/p>\n<p>@keyframes animatop {\n  0% {\n    opacity: 0;\n    bottom: -500px;\n  }\n  100% {\n    opacity: 1;\n    bottom: 0px;\n  }\n}\n@keyframes animainfos {\n  0% {\n    bottom: 10px;\n  }\n  100% {\n    bottom: -42px;\n  }\n}\n@keyframes rotatemagic {\n  0% {\n    opacity: 0;\n    transform: rotate(0deg);\n    top: -24px;\n    left: -253px;\n  }\n  100% {\n    transform: rotate(-30deg);\n    top: -24px;\n    left: -78px;\n  }\n}<\/p>\n<p>@media only screen and (min-width: 900px) {\n.card:after {\n  content: \"\";\n  display: block;\n  width: 190px;\n  height: 300px;\n  background: #262262;\n  position: absolute;\n  animation: rotatemagic 0.75s cubic-bezier(0.425, 1.04, 0.47, 1.105) 1s both;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.firstinfo img {\n  border-radius: 50%;\n  width: 120px;\n  height: 120px;\ndisplay: block;\n}<\/p>\n<p>}\n\/* ----------------Animated Button---------------- *\/<\/p>\n<p>.gradient-btn {\n  \/* Fallback: Set a background color. *\/\n  background-color: #262262;<\/p>\n<p>  \/* Create the gradient. *\/\n  background-image: linear-gradient(\n    45deg,\n    #ffffff 50%,\n    #262262 50%\n  );<\/p>\n<p>  \/* Set the background size and repeat properties. *\/\n  background-size: 270%;\n  background-repeat: repeat;\n  background-position: top right;<\/p>\n<p>  \/* Use the text as a mask for the background. *\/\n  \/* This will show the gradient as a text color rather than element bg. *\/\n  -webkit-background-clip: text;\n  -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
