I am a board certified gastroenterologist and senior consultant at Akershus University Hospital and associate professor at University of Oslo, Norway, spending 50% time in research and 50% time in clinic. My research interest is to study the transition from chronic inflammation to neoplasia in chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with the aim to identify biomarkers that allow better selection of high-risk patients for follow-up by endoscopic surveillance. As senior consultant I care for IBD patients as part of the multidisciplinary team in our hospital and in the endoscopy-lab with emphasize on optimizing early detection of colorectal neoplasia in IBD (chromoendoscopy techniques). I am a senior medical consultant and board member of Medevice AS.
