Profile

Professor Tomoaki Murata, DVM, PhD, born on 19 August 1961, is a senior expert in veterinary medicine with a distinguished academic background from Yamaguchi University, Japan. He completed his Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine in 1985, followed by a Master’s degree in 1987, and earned his Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from the United Graduate School of Veterinary Science in 1994. His professional expertise is formally recognized through his Japanese Veterinary License and his qualification as a Doctor of the Japanese College of Laboratory Animal Medicine. He further strengthened his research foundation through experience as a research student in pathology at Juntendo University in the early 1990s.

Throughout his professional career, Professor Murata has made significant contributions to both the pharmaceutical industry—including service at Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.—and academic medicine. Since 1994, he has been affiliated with Yamaguchi University, where he has held a range of strategic academic and administrative roles, progressing from Assistant Lecturer to Associate Professor. He also served as Manager of the Institute of Laboratory Animals (ILA) from 2009 until early 2025, playing a key role in laboratory animal management, research ethics, and institutional research infrastructure. He currently serves as a Specially Appointed Professor at the Science Research Center, Yamaguchi University.

In 2025, Professor Murata serves as a Visiting Fellow at the Faculty of Medicine, UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. In this role, he engages in academic and research collaboration with Chris Adhiyanto, M.Biomed., PhD, a faculty member of the Faculty of Medicine at UIN Jakarta. This collaboration is expected to strengthen UIN Jakarta’s international academic networks and to promote the integration of globally benchmarked scientific research and medical scholarship.
