Cornelia "Neli" Ulrich (born 31 October 1967 in Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt, Germany) is executive director of the Comprehensive Cancer Center at Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI), Jon M. and Karen Huntsman Presidential Professor in Cancer Research, and former Division Chief of Cancer Population Sciences in the Department of Population Health Sciences at the University of Utah.[1][2][3] Ulrich oversees HCI's academic consortium of nearly 200 cancer research teams. She leads efforts to advance the impact of HCI's research in laboratory, clinical and population science, with the goal of improving cancer prevention and treatment. Prior to joining HCI, she was the director and department head of preventive oncology at the National Center of Tumor Diseases [4](NCT) and German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg. During this time, she also held a Professorship at the DKFZ and University of Heidelberg. From 1993 until 2009, Ulrich was a Member of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and Professor in Epidemiology at the University of Washington in Seattle.

Ulrich has published more than 350 publications (h-Index 68).[5] Ulrich is a former Fulbright Scholar, DAAD Scholar,[6] and an elected member[7] to the European Academy of Cancer Sciences; she serves on numerous national and international advisory boards, committees, and editorial boards including several of the National Institutes of Health, National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), and was chair of the Scientific Council of IARC until May 2015. Her research group focuses on lifestyle and biologic factors in cancer prevention and cancer prognosis, particularly colorectal cancer. Key topics include the usage of inflammation inhibitors (e.g., aspirin) in cancer prevention and prognosis.[8][9][10] to prevent cancer, personalized medicine by using pharmacogenetics, and the role of energy balance and physical activity.[11][12][13] Ulrich is also Principal Investigator of the HCI Total Cancer Care Protocol in the ORIEN network of cancer centers.

Life and education

Ulrich graduated in 1987 from the Gustav-Stresemann-Gymnasium in Fellbach, Germany and studied Nutritional Sciences at the University of Hohenheim and the Oregon State University. She completed her master's degree in 1992 at Oregon State University. In 1998 she completed her PhD in epidemiology at the University of Washington and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. She is married and mother of two sons.[citation needed]
