Tze is a Professor of Interventional Radiology, Leeds Institute of Medical Research, University of Leeds, a Consultant in Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology and a founding member of Interventional Oncology United Kingdom (IOUK) within British Society of Interventional Radiology (BSIR). She led a cross-sectional study highlighting the lack of equity for patients to access IO services in the UK. She is the Chief Investigator of a research study that aims to translate image-guided histotripsy in liver cancer for #Hope4Liver-trial (2021-2023). In March 2023, she was appointed Chief Investigator for the image-guided histotripsy in renal cancer-CAIN trial and performed the ‘Global-First’ case, which featured on ITV News.
She is a passionate champion for female leadership and strong advocate for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI). She co-authored a pivotal publication with Prof Annamaria Belli on the IR gender gap survey at Cardiovascular and interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE), published in 2017, and this has provided the crucial evidence for the need to change the IR culture globally. In 2019, she became the co-founding Chair for the EDI committee within British Society of Interventional Radiology and launched the Professor Annamaria Belli Travelling Grant to promote greater EDI within IR community. From 2019-2022, she was the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR)/BSIR Graham Plant Travelling Professor to provide teaching and education on Interventional Oncology in UK. Currently, she also serves as chair for the RCR-Faculty Board (2023-25), BSIR Secretary (2023-25), and member of NIHR-committee for Imaging Workforce (2023-25) to actively contribute to shaping policies and initiatives promoting EDI within the broader medical community.
In addition, she is an empowering mentor that understands the need to have sustainable pipeline of IR for clinical and research delivery. In 2023, Professor Wah led a publication with a team of aspiring medical students which highlighted that IR is under-represented as a career option in the UK medical schools. This has provided the evidence regarding the need for better engagement with the UK medical schools to ensure IR is featured in the curriculum and highlighted as a career option for the next generation of doctors.
In Aug 2022, University of Leeds recognised her steadfast commitment in IO clinical academia, and she was appointed the first Professor of Interventional Radiology at University of Leeds, a historic achievement as the ‘UK-First’ female Professor of IO.
