Richard Jordan

Richard Jordan is a researcher at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) focused on oral and head/neck pathology. He has led multiple NIH-funded grants, including the NRG Oncology Biospecimen Bank (2015–2026) and studies on molecular predictors of oral cancer.

• Education: University of Toronto (D.D.S., 1986; M.Sc., 1992), University of London (Ph.D., 1995).

Research interests include oral cancer progression, HPV-related carcinomas, genomic profiling of tumors, and molecular diagnostics. His work explores biomarkers, drug resistance mechanisms, and rare oral conditions like SAPHO syndrome.

Selected Publications (2016–2020) highlight collaborations in head/neck oncology, genetic fusions, and immunohistochemical analysis.

• Scientific Awards: Senate Scholarship (1981), Wroblewski Award (1985), International Association for Dental Research prize (1995).
