Biography

Richard Bulbulia is an Associate Professor at the University of Oxford in the Medical Sciences Division, specializing in vascular and endovascular practice. He has extensive experience as a Consultant Vascular Surgeon at Cheltenham General Hospital in Gloucestershire, UK. Richard’s academic interests focus on the design, conduct, and analysis of large randomized trials, particularly those that evaluate lipid-lowering and anti-thrombotic therapies to reduce vascular risk. His significant contributions include collaborations on major studies like HPS, SEARCH, HPS 2-THRIVE, and HPS 3-REVEAL. He currently coordinates long-term follow-up studies using electronic health record data.
