He received the prestigious Sheila Sherlock Research Award from the British Association for the Study of the Liver in 2014 and the Sheila Sherlock Travelling Fellowship from the Royal College of Physicians in 2015. His research continues to focus on the systemic impact and therapeutic manipulation of cellular senescence in liver disease, the therapeutic potential of mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) in liver disease progression, and the epidemiology and natural history of rare liver diseases and liver cancer.
