He is Director of Cancer Trials for the Centre for Trials Research and Director of the Wales Cancer Bank. His clinical practice and research is focused on lower gastrointestinal cancers. He is chair of the National Cancer Research Institute anorectal cancer and CTRad WS2 (UK radiotherapy research) subgroups. He is active in national and international research organisations including IRCI the International Rare Cancer Initiative (for anal cancer) and ARCAD.
Richard chairs the biomarker development group for the UK phase III FOCUS4 trial in metastatic colorectal cancer and is Chief investigator for the FOCUS4 D and F trials. He leads on the radiotherapy quality assurance programme for the UK ARISTOTLE and SAILOR trials. He has a role within Wales to engage researchers in translational research and leads work package 3 of the Wales Cancer Research Centre.
