Biography

Richard was conferred a PhD in Clinical Immunology in 2017 and then accepted a lecturing position at the University of New England shortly afterwards. He lectures mainly in human gastroenterology and immunology across the schools of Biomedical Science, Medicine and Nursing at the University.

Richard's research focuses on gastrointestinal immunopathology and clinical/translational immunology. Using this data, Richard is also involved in developing novel diagnostics for coeliac disease in particular, as well as developing novel therapeutic agents to treat other mucosal autoimmune diseases. More recently, Richard has joined a research group examining the bi-directional communication between the gut microbiome and the brain.

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
