Dr. K. Kanoho Hosoda is a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, San Francisco working with Dr. Mica Estrada. Dr. Hosoda received her B.S. in biological sciences, M.S. in molecular biosciences and biological engineering, and her Ph.D. in communication and information sciences all from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. Dr. Hosoda’s research in the behavioral science field examines the influence of positive psychological experiences (such as kindness), Indigenous community values (e.g. reciprocity, responsibility, respect, and relevance) and multi-cultural identity integration on individual and community well-being and persistence in the biomedical sciences. She employs quantitative research methods to validate culturally-relevant measures for Indigenous populations, advancing the science of mentorship and inclusion.
