# Dr. Indrė Matsuzaki – Veterinary Scientific Consultant

> Dr. Indrė Matsuzaki (DVM, PhD) is an independent veterinary scientific consultant based in Japan. She helps veterinary and animal-health companies turn real-world clinical data collected from their clinics into peer-reviewed scientific publications – handling the full process from data analysis to manuscript writing to journal submission. She also supports companies entering the Japanese veterinary market.

## Who she is
- Licensed veterinarian (DVM) with several years of small-animal clinical experience (specialty: dentistry and oral surgery); not currently in clinical practice.
- PhD; lecturer at the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences and researcher at Kagoshima University, Japan.
- Scientific Advisory Board member at the Morris Animal Foundation (Veterinary Student Scholar program).
- Former Global Business Development Manager in Germany.
- Lithuanian, based in Japan.
- Her consultancy is registered in Japan as Cavia.
- Some earlier work (including her doctoral dissertation) was published under her maiden name, Indrė Jasinevičiūtė.
- First author in Scientific Reports (Nature Portfolio) and the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS); co-author in Veterinary and Comparative Oncology, Non-coding RNA Research and Animals.
- Co-author of two veterinary textbooks (Lithuanian University of Health Sciences).

## Services
- Manuscript writing and journal submission: turning raw clinical data into publication-ready, peer-reviewed manuscripts.
- Clinical data analysis: organizing and analyzing real-world veterinary clinic data (hands-on in SQL, Python, and Power BI) and identifying the clinical story that supports a product's evidence base. She works across therapeutic areas, with particular expertise in regenerative medicine, immunology, orthopedics, and dentistry.
- Scientific project planning and KOL engagement: planning and managing the whole scientific project when a company needs more evidence for its product – from study design and setup to finding the right Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) and building research collaborations.
- Japan veterinary market entry and scientific liaison: regulatory, scientific, and cultural support for entering the Japanese market.

## How a project works
1. The client sends the real-world data their clinics collected – it does not need to be clean or organized.
2. She cleans and analyzes the data, shapes the concept, and writes the full manuscript to journal standard.
3. She handles journal submission and supports the client through revisions until the study is published.

Working from Japan gives European clients a "Follow-the-Sun" advantage: analysis and drafting happen overnight, ready for the client's morning review.

The first step is a free 30-minute consultation, booked by email.

Pricing: each project starts with a written estimate of the hours for each stage; clients are invoiced monthly for hours actually worked, with a time report. A full manuscript usually takes about four to six weeks from receiving the data to a submission-ready paper, plus journal review time.

## Who she works with
Small and mid-size animal-health companies, supplement and device makers, veterinary clinics, and university research groups.

## Selected publications
- Scientific Reports (Nature Portfolio), 2022 – first author. Peripheral mononuclear cell composition in platelet-rich fibrin in canines with chronic conditions.
- International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023 – first author. microRNAs are abundant and stable in platelet-rich fibrin and other canine autologous blood products.
- Veterinary and Comparative Oncology, 2024. Elevated expression of miR-301a and its functional roles in canine oral melanoma.
- Non-coding RNA Research, 2024. Upregulation and functional roles of miR-450b in canine oral melanoma.
- Animals, 2023. Prevalence and characterization of dental and skull-bone pathologies of the raccoon dog in Lithuania.
- Doctoral dissertation (2023, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences): canine platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) for tissue regeneration.
