Professor Richard Shaw
Consultant Oral & Maxillofacial / Head & Neck Surgeon
I am an academic Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon specializing in head and neck cancer and reconstruction. I graduated from the Universities in Bristol and Glasgow with primary degrees in dentistry and medicine. After surgical training in Glasgow, I undertook higher training in OMFS and a head & neck oncology fellowship. Integrated within this clinical training, I completed my MD research thesis in the University of LIverpool as a RCSEng Research Fellow, as well as DoH Genetics in Healthcare Fellowship at MD Anderson Cancer Centre USA. I was appointed to Liverpool University and Aintree in 2007, gaining a personal chair in 2012. I am the chair of the Mersey Head & Neck Oncology Group (MHNORG), the research arm of Liverpool Head & Neck Centre. MHNORG is an expanding and vibrant multidisciplinary collaboration of clinicians and scientists committed to improving understanding and treatment of malignancies of the mouth, throat and larynx.
