Speaker: Dr Rajarshi Banerjee, CEO of Perspectum

Title: "How UK Biobank has improved Care in People with Liver Disease"

Bio: Rajarshi Banerjee is the CEO of Perspectum and a practicing consultant in medicine in Oxford. Perspectum is a precision health company dedicated to improving the diagnosis, treatment, and management of metabolic diseases and cancer. 

Rajarshi graduated from Oxford with a degree in medicine in 2002, later moving to London to complete his general medical training and a specialist registrar rotation in general medicine and cardiology. 

‘At the coalface’ in medical admission units and cardiology wards there was an alarming rise in the prevalence of coexistent cardiovascular and liver disease, driven by obesity and alcohol use, which fostered his interest in acquired cardiovascular disease. He was awarded a British Heart Foundation Clinical Research Training Fellowship in 2008 to study the effects of excess weight on the cardiovascular system. 
 
In 2011, using new MR techniques developed in and patented by the Oxford Centre for Clinical Magnetic Resonance (OCMR), he began the Rapid Imaging in Liver Disease (RIAL) study in collaboration with the Translational Gastroenterology Unit, to see if advances in MR could enable better diagnosis and monitoring of liver disease, using liver biopsy as a reference standard. The study showed a high diagnostic accuracy for each of liver fat, fibrosis and iron content. The tissue characterisation techniques first used here have now become widely adopted in the assessment of liver disease and have been referenced in many publications. 

In 2024, Perspectum was acknowledged as the best established MedTech company in Oxfordshire.
