Assistant Professor, Division of Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of British Columbia.

Dr. Hoiland completed his PhD (2015-2018) at the University of British Columbia Okanagan, where he studied cerebrovascular physiology and human adaptation to hypoxia. As a postdoctoral fellow, Dr. Hoiland investigated the pathophysiology of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury as well as traumatic spinal cord injury, with a focus on mitigating secondary hypoxic injury. Collectively, his training involved studying how the central nervous system responds to hypoxia in pre-clinical disease models, healthy humans, and patients.

Dr. Hoiland now conducts research along the translational continuum with the aim of determining neuroprotective strategies to improve outcomes for patients suffering an acute central nervous system injury. Special interests include developing strategies to optimize oxygen delivery to the brain or spinal cord following an acute injury and characterizing the role of neuroinflammation as a determinant of acute central nervous system injury severity.
