👥Biography 个人简介
Jeremy Rich is a leading glioblastoma researcher who has made defining contributions to characterizing glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) as drivers of tumor maintenance, therapy resistance, and recurrence. His laboratory demonstrated that CD133+ glioma cells are preferentially radioresistant and maintain DNA damage checkpoint activity, explaining why GBM recurs after radiotherapy. Rich characterized the hypoxic niche as a GSC maintenance environment and identified HIF pathway activation as essential for GSC stemness. He has developed high-throughput platforms to screen compounds against patient-derived GSC lines, generating leads for novel GBM therapies.
🧪Research Fields 研究领域
🎓Key Contributions 主要贡献
GSC Radioresistance
Demonstrated that CD133+ glioblastoma stem cells are preferentially radioresistant due to activation of DNA damage checkpoints, explaining the clinical pattern of GBM recurrence after radiation and identifying checkpoint inhibition as a GSC radiosensitization strategy.
Hypoxic Niche GSC Maintenance
Characterized how hypoxia maintains GSC identity through HIF pathway activation and identified hypoxic perivascular niches as GSC sanctuaries, providing rationale for targeting HIF and angiogenesis to disrupt GSC maintenance.
