He was awarded the prestigious Welcome Trust Research Fellowship grant to allow completion of his Doctor of Philosophy qualification from Oxford University in liver immunology and genomics as a research fellow at Harvard Medical School in Boston, USA, for 3 years where he met his wife.
After receiving triple accreditation in Medicine, Gastroenterology and Hepatology Dr Gupta was appointed a locum consultant at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford before taking up a substantive post at Milton Keynes University Hospital. He holds a number of pivotal roles including Lead in Specialty Medicine, Lead in Hepatology and previous roles included Lead in Clinical Governance for Gastroenterology, Consultant BMA representative and Local Negotiating Committee Chair at Milton Keynes Hospital.
Since creating the Hepatology department at Milton Keynes in 2017, there is now a dedicated consultant inpatient/outpatient service along with a nursing team and transplant program affiliated with Cambridge University Hospitals which has shown a vast improvement in overall outcomes for patients. Dr Gupta has published in a number of scientific papers and continues to perform clinical research and is co-investigator for several multi-centre trials.
On top of his consultancy work Dr Gupta also provides regular lectures and teaching to junior doctors and medical students in Buckingham and Oxford.

He also supervises and trains multiple specialist and resident doctors every year. Dr Gupta is also proficient in upper GI endoscopy and a certified trainer.
Whilst proficient in general gastroenterological disease, Dr Gupta has a particular interest in liver disease, especially fatty liver disease/Metabolic dysfunction Associated SteatotIc Liver Disease(MASLD) previously known as NAFLD. Fatty liver appears to be one of the fastest rising diseases in the western world and associated with multiple conditions that reduce healthspan and lifespan such as cirrhosis, heart attacks, diabetes, insulin resistance, dementia, obesity, cancer and PCOS. Dr Gupta has developed a holistic approach to longevity medicine by addressing lifestyle, nutrition, supplements, exercise techniques, sleep, weight loss, maintaining a healthy microbiome and gut and appropriate technology aids that help reduce the risk of all the above.
