I am a surgeon specialising in the management of inflammatory bowel disease and intestinal failure. I completed general surgical training and a PhD in surgery in 2004 at the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm and Salford Royal Hospital, Manchester, UK, and then did a postdoc and a clinical fellowship in colorectal surgery at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. I worked at The University of Auckland, NZ, and at the Irving National Intestinal Failure Unit at Salford Royal Hospital as a consultant surgeon and associate professor. In 2019, I returned to Stockholm to develop an IBD Centre at Ersta Hospital. I also serve as Section Editor at Diseases of the Colon and Rectum and on the ESPEN Scientific Committee. orcid.org/0000-0003-4287-6978
