Dr. Rich\u2019s Laboratory identifies novel therapeutic paradigms in the treatment of advanced cancers, primarily malignant brain tumors, through the prism of stem cell biology to identify core regulatory pathways amenable to pharmacologic targeting. His team aims to better understand the clinical relevance of cancer stem cells and the interaction with the tumor microenvironment and underlying genetic driver mutations in human cancers. His laboratory has made contributions in several areas, including therapeutic resistance, circadian rhythm, cancer epigenetics, tumor microenvironment, epitranscriptomics, tumor organoids\/bioprinting, cancer metabolism, and cancer metabolism. A driving force in his NIH-funded research efforts is leveraging patient-derived tissues and collaborations with other research groups with complementary expertise.<\/p>\n<p>Board Certified, American Board of Neurology<\/p>\n<h2>Mentor Training:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Training Program Affiliations:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Publications<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=Rich+JN&amp;cauthor_id=31160393\">PubMed<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Jeremy Rich in UNC Genetics News<\/h2>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research Interests Keywords: Neuro oncology, Neurology Dr. Jeremy Rich is Deputy Director for Research and Chief Scientific Officer of the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Professor of Neurology at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
