Bakgrunn og aktiviteter
Björn Gustafsson er dekan ved fakultet for medisin og helsevitenskap, NTNU. Han er i tillegg overlege i fordøyelsessykdommer ved St. Olavs Hospital (siden 2004), og professor i fordøyelsessykdommer ved Institutt for kreftforskning og molekylær medisin.
Björn Gustafssons forskningsvirksomhet har vært fokusert på medisinsk molekylærbiologi og klinisk forskning hovedsakelig innen nevroendokrin kreft i mage-tarm systemet, nevroendokrinologi og inflammatorisk tarmsykdom. Han har i mange år hatt et nært forskningssamarbeid med Yale School of Medicine i USA og var også gjesteforsker ved Yale 2007-2008.
Gustafsson var prodekan for forskning ved Det medisinske fakultet fra 2012-2015. Han var leder for Norsk Gastroenterologisk Forening 2009-2013.
Gustafsson studerte medisin i Lund i Sverige. Han flyttet med sin familie til Norge i 1997 og har utført sin legespesialisering og forskerutdanning i Trondheim.
