About me

Professor Alastair O'Brien is a leading clinical academic liver specialist who has published in the world's top journals including the New England journal of Medicine, The Lancet and Nature Medicine.

He is a highly experienced clinician who looks after all forms of liver disease and regularly uses non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis (Fibroscan®) to diagnose and monitor patients. His pioneering research allows him to bring patients the latest treatments to ensure a positive outcome.

He has received research funding from The Wellcome Trust, Department of Health and Social Care, Medical Research Council & National Institute for Health Research and recently completed the largest trial in cirrhosis patients worldwide.

He studied medicine at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals and qualified in 1994. He underwent specialist training in liver disease, gastroenterology and general medicine in London.

He writes the hepatology chapter for the best selling textbook Kumar and Clark's Clinical Medicine, 9th Edition.
