About me

I am a postdoctoral researcher in HPB surgical oncology and a surgeon with the Unit of HPB Surgery at Karolinska University Hospital.
PhD – 2022, Karolinska Institutet, 'Immunological aspects on prognosis in resectable cholangiocellular cancer'
Residency training general surgery – 2016-2021, Karolinska University Hospital
Internship – 2014-2016, Karolinska University Hospital
MD – 2013, Lund University

Research

My research is focused on identifying preoperative prognostic factors for patients with biliary tract cancers (cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder cancer), with the goal of improving therapy and outcomes.

Teaching

Director of studies for the surgical internship at Karolinska Huddinge October 2019 - March 2022
ATLS trauma care instructor at Karolinska Huddinge since 2019
