Dr Masato Miyata is currently Senior Researcher in Temasek Polytechnic, School of Applied Science. He has more than 20 years of hands-on experience in fish genomics and pathology, epigenetics, gene expression regulatory mechanisms, fish disease, immunology and vaccine development, ranging from basic research in academia to industrial R&D.
He developed experiment platforms in Temasek Polytechnic to evaluate the efficacy of fish health products as such vaccines or agents with anti-pathogenic property. He also developed a new secondary antibody (monoclonal antibody) against fish IgM, a key component to check immunity in fish to improve the efficacy of diagnosis.
