In the past 15 years I have been working as a gastroenterologist specialist in the Tertiary Hospital in Tirana, Albania and at the same time, I am appointed as a full-time lecturer of Physiology at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine, Albania. As a practicing clinician in the University Clinic of Gastrohepatology, my daily working responsibility is to care for patients with both benign and malignant disorders of gastrointestinal tract and liver; to provide both diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy; to participate in the general medical emergency care and GI bleed rotation. During this period, I have been fully involved with issues related to primary prevention, screening, as well as treatment and management of chronic digestive diseases and particularly, management, complications and outcome of gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary cancer. As one of the main lecturers of Physiology at the Faculty of Medicine, in Tirana, one of my principal responsibilities is to teach the medical students and to trainee the junior staff and nurses at the Hospital. Furthermore, my research focus so far has been related to the primary prevention and management of gastrointestinal cancers. During my exchange periods as a post doctorate and visiting teaching-staff at the Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, I was involved in a research project and clinical practices related with digestive cancer prevention and screening, the risk factors, particularly lifestyle/behavioural characteristics such as unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, smoking, alcohol consumption, as well as its treatment and management which resulted in a successful collaboration.
