Professor Anstee first joined Newcastle University in 2010, returning to his native North East from London where he had trained at UCL and received his PhD from Imperial. He then completed his specialist training whilst working as a Clinical Lecturer in Medicine & Hepatology.
His translational and clinical research has extended from the bench to the bedside, with particular focus on the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of Metabolic-dysfunction Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD). Currently, he is Theme Co-Lead of the NIHR Newcastle BRC Liver Disease, Multimorbidity and Lifestyle Research Theme, Dean of Research & Innovation, and the Ruth & Lionel Jacobson Chair of Personalised Medicine.
A practising clinician, Professor Anstee is also an NIHR Senior Investigator and has been named as one of the world’s most influential researchers in the Web of Science list of Highly Cited Researchers, amongst the top 1% of scientists by citation metrics.
As PVC FMS, Quentin will play a pivotal role in the strategic development and operation of education and research within the faculty, delivering both the University and Faculty Strategic goals. He will also play a key role in developing and fostering regional partnerships with key partners such as the NHS and other institutions to develop mutually beneficial opportunities.
Professor Quentin Anstee says: “I look forward to working with colleagues across the university, our students, and our partners in the NHS and across the region to build on this legacy.” I am deeply honoured to take on the role of Pro Vice-Chancellor of the Faculty of Medical Sciences. As a native of the North-East and a member of the university for 15 years, our tradition of excellence in medical education, research, and clinical impact is a source of immense pride. These are challenging times for UK higher education, but they also present opportunities. I look forward to working with colleagues across the university, our students, and our partners in the NHS and across the region to build on this legacy.”

Newcastle has a consistent track record of its leaders progressing from BRC leadership roles into senior executive leadership roles across Newcastle University and beyond. The Director of the inaugural NIHR Newcastle BRC, Professor Chris Day, was later appointed Vice-Chancellor and President of Newcastle University and his successor as BRC Director, Professor Patrick Chinnery is currently Executive Chair of the Medical Research Council (MRC). Professor David Burn was Director of NIHR Newcastle Biomedical Research Unit in Dementia and led the NIHR Newcastle BRC Dementia Theme, and was appointed Pro-Vice-Chancellor of the Faculty of Medical Sciences in February 2017.
The NIHR Newcastle BRC sits at the heart of a partnership recognised for its world class translational research and the BRC has, and continues to, played a key role in developing outstanding leaders in this space. Across the current BRC we actively encourage new opportunities for leadership with all our research themes having co-leads and two BRC Leadership Track members, a cohort of potential future theme leads.
