About me

I have an educational background in Nutrition and Dietietics. I completed my doctoral education in 2018, on the topic Oesophageal cancer surgery - nutritional determinants of survivorship from Karolinska Institutet. My present research work focuses on the role of exercise and nutrition during and after cancer therapy with the overall goal of improving cancer survivorship.
