About
I am an HPB and transplant surgeon with international training, including a fellowship at the University Hospital Zurich, and a FEBS (HPB) qualification. My clinical expertise spans complex hepatopancreatobiliary surgery and liver transplantation.
Beyond clinical practice, I am engaged in academic medicine as Associate Professor and contribute to surgical education, curriculum development, and simulation-based training. I am actively involved in European initiatives such as Erasmus+ and COST Actions, focusing on personalized cancer care, surgical training innovation, and medical education.
In parallel, I work extensively in the field of evidence-based medicine (EBM), leading and contributing to projects in medical writing, clinical data analysis, and critical appraisal of biomedical research.
I am committed to combining clinical excellence, research, and education to improve outcomes for both patients and trainees.
