Matthew is a general and upper gastrointestinal surgeon with a special interest in minimally invasive surgery and endoscopy for both benign and malignant conditions of the upper gastrointestinal tract.
After graduating from Monash University in 2003, Matthew completed his residency and surgical training through Western Health in Melbourne. After completing his general surgical fellowship in 2016, Matthew was accepted by the Australian and New Zealand Gastro Oesophageal Surgery Association (ANZGOSA) for subspecialty training in the field of upper gastrointestinal surgery. This was undertaken at both St Vincent's and the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne. These training posts provided Matthew with extensive experience in the management of complex upper gastrointestinal tract conditions. Commencing in late 2019, Matthew has also been accepted by the University Medical Center in Utrecht, the Netherlands, to undertake a surgical oncology fellowship with a special focus on robotic surgery
Matthew is nearing the completion of a PhD which has focused on the development of pre-clinical models to better understand oesophageal cancer and its precursor, Barrett’s oesophagus. This work has led to numerous publications, awards and international collaborations. Most recently, Matthew has been appointed to the advisory board of OESO, a worldwide organisation which focuses on diseases of the oesophagus.
