Rickard L Sjöberg MD, PhD is an adjunct Professor (from 25.03.01) and specialist in Neurosurgery at the University Hospital of Northern Sweden. Clinically, he focuses on high and low grade glioma surgery, with a special interest in pre and peri-operative mapping of brain function, for instance during awake craniotomies.

Examples of research interests:

mechanisms for cortical functional reorganization after surgery, including during Supplementary Motor Area Syndrome
molecular dynamics of neurosurgical disease
psychological and neuropsychological aspects of neurosurgical conditions

Dr Sjöberg also has a background and continued interest in psychological research and the application of such research to clinical practice and public policy.

"Important discoveries often wait for you in the gaps between disciplines"

Rickard Sjöberg moves between academic disciplines, but says he often realizes that the gap isn't so wide.
