About

Personal Statement

Dr. Noch’s research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of endogenous tumor-associated necrosis in glioblastoma as well as the regulation of glucose metabolism using targeted therapies and dietary strategies to treat glioblastoma.  Within this research program, he uses patient-derived models of glioblastoma to better recapitulate the human disease state and employs a wide variety of available technologies and core facilities within the tri-institutional community.  He hopes to improve not only patient outcomes and survival but also overall well-being during treatment, particularly with respect to tumor necrosis that can be a devastating aspect of this tumor type and a major adverse effect of current treatment.

Biography

Dr. Noch completed his undergraduate studies at New York University, where he obtained a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Neural Science. He then went on to complete his MD and PhD degrees at Temple University School of Medicine, where he studied the role of viral and cellular oncogenes in the regulation of oxygen and glucose metabolism in malignant brain tumors.  Returning to New York City, he completed his Internship in Internal Medicine and then Residency in Neurology at Weill Cornell Medicine under the Department of Neurology’s Residency Research Track funded by the Brain and Mind Research Institute Clinician-Scientist Fund.  He served as Chief Resident for Research during his third year of residency and Chief Resident for Research and Education during his fourth year.  He then completed his fellowship in Neuro-oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center before transitioning back to Weill Cornell Medicine as an Instructor in the Department of Neurology.  During residency and fellowship, Dr. Noch has also been performing his post-doctoral studies in the laboratory of Dr. Lewis Cantley at the Sandra and Edward Meyer Cancer Center at Weill Cornell Medicine, where he has been using novel strategies to combine targeted therapy with dietary interventions to improve treatment of glioblastoma.
