Snai Hospital IBD Unit (NY, USA) in 2011, worked as coordinator of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Unit at HAV in Valencia, and as associate professor in the University of Valencia, where he got his pHD on Innate Immunology and Crohn´s disease.

Nowadays combines clinical activity at Levanger Hospital in gastroenterology and a post-doc position at NTNU CEMIR (IBD group coordinated by Dr. A.K.
