Biography

Richard Wilson graduated from Queen’s University Belfast in 1984 and then worked in N. Ireland and Scotland as a junior doctor in surgery which included three years of colorectal cancer laboratory research in QUB. He then trained in clinical oncology before undertaking a post-CCT Fellowship in the National Cancer Institute in the USA in medical oncology, phase I cancer trials and drug development.

He was appointed in 2001 as a Senior Lecturer in Queen's University Belfast and Consultant Oncologist in the Belfast City Hospital. He set up the first early phase cancer clinical trials programme on the island of Ireland, and was the first Clinical Director of the N. Ireland Cancer Trials Network. He was a member of both the Adjuvant and Advanced Disease subgroups and the main Colorectal Cancer Clinical Studies Group of the UK National Cancer Research Institute from 2002, and chaired the CSG from 2014 - 2017. He helped to set up the International Rare Cancer Initiative Small Bowel Adenocarcinoma Working Group in 2011 and is its Co-Chair and UK lead. He has been a member of the Medical Advisory Board for Bowel cancer Uk since 2013.

In 2019, he joined the Institute of Clinical Sciences in the University of Glasgow as Professor in Gastrointestinal Oncology and is an Honorary Consultant in Medical Oncology in the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre.

His main interests are in gastrointestinal cancer (particularly in colorectal cancer but also small bowel and anal cancer and peritoneal malignancies), in drug development, biomarkers, personalised medicine and early and late phase clinical trials.

His work spans cancer biology, translational and clinical research, and he is committed to working with colleagues to bring cancer discovery science into the clinic. He is passionate about teaching students and training the next generation of cancer clinicians and researchers. He is the Glasgow Clinical Academic Training lead for the innovative TRACC programme in the Universities of Glasgow and Edinburgh which provides PhD positions for both postgraduate trainees and intercalating medical and dental students.
