Biography

Dr. Aravinthan is an Associate Professor in Hepatology at the University of Nottingham and an Honorary Consultant Hepatologist at the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. He completed his postgraduate training in Hepatology at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust, UK and Toronto General Hospital/University of Toronto, Canada. His doctoral thesis, awarded by the University of Cambridge, focused on the role of hepatocyte senescence in the progression of chronic liver disease. He was awarded the prestigious Sheila Sherlock Research Award by the British Association for the Study of the Liver in 2014 and the Sheila Sherlock Travelling Fellowship by the Royal College of Physicians in 2015. His research continues to focus on the prognostic and therapeutic role of cellular senescence in liver disease.

Current Research

• Identification of novel liver/serum markers of hepatocyte senescence for the prognostication of liver disease.
• Investigation of the systemic impact of hepatocyte senescence in liver disease.
• Identification of newer therapeutic strategies for patients with liver injury, including the prevention of hepatocyte senescence, elimination of senescent hepatocytes, and inhibition of the senescent secretome.
