About me

I am a postdoctoral researcher in HPB surgical oncology and a surgeon with the Unit of HPB Surgery at Karolinska University Hospital.

Research description

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.
