Maja Thiele is a clinical hepatologist and researcher focusing on alcohol-related and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, with a particular interest in elastography and circulating biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring. She authored Landmark papers in 2018 validating the diagnostic role of transient elastography and controlled attenuation parameter in alcohol-related liver fibrosis and steatosis. Currently, her research evolves around the development and validation of effective healthcare pathways for early detection of liver fibrosis in the population. Among projects are the Horizon2020-funded LiverScreen consortium, which aims to evaluate FibroScan® as a screening tool in 30,000 Europeans from the background population.
