Richard Bryant undertook his undergraduate medical training at the University of Sheffield, where he completed an intercalated BMedSci degree in pathology in 1995, and qualified in 1998.
After completing Basic Surgical Training in South Yorkshire in 2003, he was awarded a Medical Research Council Fellowship (2004-2007) and undertook a PhD researching molecular mechanisms of prostate cancer progression. He then undertook higher surgical training in Urology in both Sheffield and Oxford, whilst in parallel continuing to pursue his prostate cancer research interests, leading to numerous scientific publications in this field under the mentorship of Professor Freddie Hamdy.
In 2015 he was appointed Locum Consultant Urologist in Oxford and continued to combine clinical practice, specialising in the diagnosis and management of prostate cancer, with prostate cancer research. In 2016 he was successful in obtaining a Cancer Research UK Clinician Scientist Fellowship (joint with the Royal College of Surgeons of England), which enables him to continue to combine his care of prostate cancer patients with a wide and growing prostate cancer research portfolio, covering the breadth of basic science, translational, and clinical research, at the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences at the University of Oxford.
Work from his research collaborations is regularly presented at international meetings and published in peer reviewed journals.
He has been the Lead Clinician for the VANCE (VAcciNation in prostate CancEr) Clinical trial in Oxford since 2015, and in 2017 he commenced his current position as Honorary Consultant Urologist at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford.
Mr Bryant delivers undergraduate teaching in surgery and urology to clinical medical students, and is an executive committee member of the Academic Section of the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) (2017-2019). He is a full member of BAUS, the European Urology Association (EAU), and the American Urology Association (AUA).
