Jan Derks ist Spezialist für Parodontologie und behandelt Patienten in der Fachklinik für Parodontologie in Göteborg, Schweden. Er promovierte an der Universität Göteborg, wo er eine Stelle als außerordentlicher Professor am Institut für Parodontologie des Instituts für Zahnmedizin innehat. Seine Forschungsschwerpunkte sind biologische Komplikationen im Zusammenhang mit Zahnimplantaten.

Soy odontóloga generalista y he trabajado en el campo dental desde el 2012 desempeñando roles que cubren toda la cadena de valor del servicio de salud dental: desde asistente en sillón, pasando por auxiliar en gabinete, atención al paciente, agente comercial, higienista y finalmente como dentista. Todo esto me ha permitido estar al día con los avances científicos y tecnológicos, a la vez que me ha dotado de una perspectiva global del funcionamiento de las clínicas dentales, lo que aporta dinamismo, profesionalidad y eficacia a mi trabajo.

Persigo el ideal de ejercer una odontología de alta calidad, y además, tengo profunda vocación para la enseñanza, por lo que me encantaría que ese ámbito formara parte del día a día en mi práctica profesional. Soy una apasionada de la periodoncia y la estética dental, y tengo muchas ganas de aprender y crecer.
