Dr. Yoshida is a graduate from Mie University School of Medicine (MD) in Japan. He completed his clinical training in Osaka and is board certified in Emergency Medicine and Critical Care Medicine. His graduate research training (PhD) was completed in Osaka where he demonstrated lung injury resulting from strong spontaneous effort during mechanical ventilation.
He furthered this during a year’s work with Dr. Amato (University of São Paulo) where he described ‘Pendelluft’, a new mechanism of effort-dependent lung injury, and developed extensive knowledge of pleural pressure mechanics. He has completed an additional 3-year post-doctoral fellowship in Toronto (Drs. Kavanagh and Brochard) exploring translational research on pleural pressure and its manipulation.
Dr. Yoshida has won multiple hospital, university and international awards, most recently the ‘Global Rising Star’ award from the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society. He has taken up a faculty position in Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine (July 2018).
Ultimately, Dr. Yoshida pursues translational research towards helping critically ill patients with acute lung disease.
