His appointment is effective March 1, and he will report to Vice Dean Peggy Farnham, PhD.<br \/>\nWatanabe has a long history at USC, earning his bachelor\u2019s, master\u2019s, and PhD degrees at the school. He received his PhD in exercise science in 1995. He then transitioned to the University of Michigan School of Public Health, where he performed post-doctoral training in statistical genetics in the Department of Biostatistics and subsequently joined the department there as a research faculty. He\u2019s been a member of the USC faculty in Population and Public Health Sciences since 2000.<br \/>\nWatanabe\u2019s research focuses on the pathophysiology and genetics of Type 2 diabetes and obesity.\u00a0Over the course of his career, Watanabe has developed mathematical models to quantify insulin secretion\u00a0<em>in vivo<\/em>.<br \/>\nWatanabe has taught extensively in undergraduate and graduate programs at USC and has mentored numerous undergraduate, graduate, and medical students.\u00a0In his role as Vice Chair for Education, he has overseen integration of the department\u2019s educational enterprise, rebranded and marketed the programs to increase applications and improve student quality, and introduced new degree programs and initiatives.\u00a0He has also worked to improve student diversity at the Keck School through his participation in the USC Bridging the Gaps summer program and the NIH\/NHLBI-funded LA\u2019s Biostatistical Education Summer Training program.<br \/>\nIn an\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/pphs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">interview for the Population and Public Health Sciences website<\/a>\u00a0earlier this year, Watanabe said he took the Vice Chair job \u201cbecause I enjoy interacting with the students. In particular, I like that one-on-one aspect of mentoring students and talking to them.
