Richmond Jeremy

Professor Richmond Jeremy holds the position of Professor of Medicine within the Faculty of Medicine and Health at the University of Sydney. A distinguished cardiologist, he earned his MBBS and PhD from the University of Sydney, supplemented by fellowships including FRACP, FCSANZ, FACC, FESC, FAHA, and GAICD. His foundational training in medicine and cardiology occurred at the University of Sydney and Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPAH), followed by a PhD focused on coronary physiology and a postdoctoral research fellowship at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. Throughout his career, Jeremy has served as Consultant Cardiologist at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Strathfield Private Hospital, and Chris O'Brien Lifehouse, while directing the Marfan and Aortic Disease Clinic at RPAH. At the University of Sydney, he has undertaken significant leadership roles, including Associate Dean of the Sydney Medical School, Head of the Central Clinical School, and Pro Vice-Chancellor for Campus Infrastructure and Services. Professionally, he has been President of the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand, Editor-in-Chief of Heart Lung and Circulation, and served on the boards of the National Heart Foundation (NSW), Royal Australasian College of Physicians (Adult Medicine Division), and Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand.

Jeremy's research specializations encompass the mechanisms of aortic aneurysm formation, clinical management and outcomes of thoracic aortic aneurysm disease, predictors of survival in aortic disease, mechanical function of the aorta, molecular mechanisms of aneurysm formation, and inherited aortopathies such as Marfan syndrome and familial aneurysm syndromes. With over 20 years of expertise in aortic diseases, he collaborates with cardiac surgery teams at RPAH. Notable publications include "Neutrophil depletion limited to reperfusion reduces myocardial infarct size after 90 minutes of ischemia. Evidence for neutrophil-mediated reperfusion injury" (1989, Circulation), "Infarct artery perfusion and changes in left ventricular volume in the month after acute myocardial infarction" (1987, Journal of the American College of Cardiology), "Relation between age, arterial distensibility, and aortic dilatation in the Marfan syndrome" (1994, The American Journal of Cardiology), and "International Registry of Patients Carrying TGFBR1 or TGFBR2 Mutations: Results of the MAC (Montalcino Aortic Consortium)" (2016, Circulation: Cardiovascular Genetics). His scholarly impact is evidenced by nearly 5,900 citations on Google Scholar. Awards include the RT Hall Prize for Research and the Ralph Reader Prize. He also supervises Honours and PhD students in cardiology and genetics.
