Editor Profiles
Guangde Tu, Editor
Back to topGuangde has been the Editor of BMC Anesthesiology since 2016 and is based in the Shanghai office. Before joining BioMed Central, Guangde received his BSc in theoretical physics from Nanjing University, China and his PhD in quantum chemistry from the Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden. When he was graduated, he came back to China as an assistant researcher investigating the growth of composite membranes for water processing, before moving on to study the growth of solid tumors using computer simulation. His interest then turned to medial science and he worked as medical editor for a number of years before joining BioMed Central as an editor of BMC series.

Critical Care
Matthias Eikermann is a clinician-scientist and educator with a strong interest in clinical research and implementation science. He has an established research portfolio in perioperative respiratory physiology, critical care and sleep medicine, with an additional interest in drug development.
In his capacities of the clinical director of quality improvement and research in the critical care division, and Medical Director of respiratory care at MGH, Dr. Eikermann orchestrated the development of perioperative treatment guidelines in collaboration with surgery, nursing, physical therapy, respiratory care, and physical medicine and rehabilitation. He built an interdisciplinary high performing team of ICU nurses, physical therapists, rehabilitation physicians, trauma and thoracic surgeons, as well as ICU physicians to develop the “SICU Optimal Mobility Strategy” (SOMS) for goal-directed early mobilization, an important innovation that has been adopted at 2 MGH ICUs, as well as other hospitals in the US and in Europe (UMASS, BIDMC in New England, Klinikum Rechts der Isar in Munich, Germany, Salzburg University Hospital, Austria, Spedali Civili University Hospital, Brescia, Italy).
