Dr. Yamadas forskning utforsker regenerering av orale og kraniofaciale vev ved å integrere avansert bioingeniørkunst, epigenetisk stamcelleregulering, kraniofaciale utviklingsprosesser og multi-omics-tilnærminger.

Dr. Yamada er også anerkjent som en vitenskapskommunikator gjennom sin ekspertise innen mikroskopisk kunst, med arbeidet sitt bredt dekket av massemedier, magasiner og aviser over hele verden, inkludert Nature Portfolio (november 2023, februar 2024, februar 2025, og januar 2026) og Naturhistorisk museum i Bergen.

Dr. Yamadas undervisning fokuserer på kraniofacial utvikling og regenerativ tannbehandling.

Etter å ha fullført et Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (University of Liverpool, Storbritannia) og blitt tildelt FHEA av Advance HE (Storbritannia), integrerer han banebrytende forskning i forelesningene sine, med vekt på kritisk tenkning, studentengasjement og inkludering.

Dr. Yamada holder for tiden forelesninger i (UiB):

• ODO-FORSK/06 Forskningsmetoder
• ODBIO901 Oral biologi
• ELMED303 Fremtidens medisin

og fungerer også som gjesteforeleser i regenerativ tannbehandling ved flere institutter i Europa.
