Biography

Dr. Jansen joined the Division of Trauma & Acute Care Surgery faculty in August 2017. He trained in the United Kingdom where he obtained his medical degree and an intercalated Bachelor of Science degree in anatomy. He also holds a Doctorate of Medicine from the University of Berlin and a Ph.D. from the University of Aberdeen.

 Dr. Jansen completed his general surgery residency in Scotland, with trauma and critical care medicine fellowships in Johannesburg and Toronto. He is a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and a fellow of the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine of the Royal College of Anaesthetists. Dr. Jansen served in the British Army as a reservist and was awarded a Queen’s Commendation for his service in Afghanistan.

Dr. Jansen’s principal research interest is clinical trials. He has particular expertise in the evaluation of complex interventions, and Bayesian trial designs. He was the chief investigator of the "UK Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta" (UK-REBOA) trial, and is the principal investigator of the "Trauma Resuscitation with Group O Whole Blood Or Products" (TROOP) and "Trauma And Prothrombin Complex Concentrate" (TAP) trials. He serves as director of research for the UAB Division of Acute Care Surgery, director of the UAB Center for Injury Science, and associate vice chair for clinical trials for the UAB Department of Surgery.
