He was subsequently appointed as a Senior Clinical Lecturer in UCL and a Consultant at the Royal Free Hospital.
Professor Tsochatzis has a special interest in fatty liver disease, cirrhosis and complications, metabolic liver disease (including Wilson’s disease and heamochromatosis) and non-invasive fibrosis assessment.

He currently leads the specialist multidisciplinary service for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) at the UCL Institute for Liver and Digestive Health.

He has won the prestigious Rising Star award by the United European Gastroenterology in 2014 and the Physician Scientist Fellowship by the European Association for the Study of the Liver.
As a clinician, Professor Tsochatzis is passionate about helping to improve patient outcomes for liver disease, and has led a number of international research collaborations in hepatology which have resulted in the publication of over 300 articles in high-impact, scientific peer-reviewed journals. He is the principal investigator for a number of investigator-led and commercial phase 2 and 3 clinical trials in therapies for fatty liver and cirrhosis and for the early detection of liver fibrosis.

- We had an appointment with Professor Tsochatzis for our son. I was very impressed that he had gone through the medical summary, lab and radiological results we had sent previously and had a firm grasp of our son's history even though this was our initial appointment. He was extremely courteous, compassionate and knowledgeable. Both parents are physicians and we were very impressed with his knowledge and approach and feel confident and safe with him caring for our son. I highly recommend him.
