Terumo Fellows

"Terumo Fellows" drive innovation through outstanding expertise

In April 2016, Terumo created the "Terumo Fellow" Program to recognize and appoint as "Terumo Fellows" associates with expertise and experience in their fields, and who have made outstanding contributions leading to innovation in medical settings around the world, and in technology, research, and clinical development.

Terumo Fellows will continue to drive research and development in their fields, both by personally innovating and by advising the young engineers who will sustain Terumo Group growth into the future.

To date, six Terumo Fellows have been appointed, with four still actively working as of April 2020.
