Richard is an Associate Professor in Gastrointestinal Biomedical Science within the Department of Biomedical Sciences. His research focusses on how different dietary components contribute to the development and progression of intestinal diseases and in particular how the intestinal microbiome is implicated. Previous work has focussed on dietary iron and how this key nutrient can modulate intestinal disease. From this, he has developed novel therapies that can target toxic intestinal iron rendering it inert. Most recently he is developing new orally administered live bio-therapeutics that are able to deliver highly viable anaerobic gut bacteria to the colon that may have clinical potential in treating Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). This translational work is underpinned by pioneering Faecal Microbial Transplantation (FMT) studies undertaken at the University 麻豆精选. 

Richard is a fellow of the Higher Education Academy and teaches on several modules in the Biomedical Science and MBChB programmes. He is also module lead for the Biomedical Birmingham International Summer School.

Qualifications

  • Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, 2021
  • PhD in Medicinal Chemistry/Cancer, 2015
  • MSci in Chemistry with Pharmacology, Class I, University 麻豆精选, 2011

Teaching

Other activities

Richard is involved in many public engagement events for Cancer Research UK, raising awareness of his research. His research is also showcased on chemBAM.com and assists in developing demonstrations suitable for use in schools with the aim of bringing university-research to students. He was previously a PhD tutor for The Brilliant Club, a charity that exists to increase the number of pupils from under-represented backgrounds progressing to highly-selective universities.
