About Stanley R. Riddell

Stanley Riddell, M.D., is a board certified oncologist at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center.

Dr. Riddell is an expert at treating lymphoma and myelodysplastic syndrome with bone marrow transplantation. He is working to fortify the immune system with better weapons: long-living T-cells specially engineered to seek and destroy cancer.

Dr. Riddell earned his M.D. from the University of Manitoba. Through adoptive T-cell therapy, he and his fellow researchers extract white blood cells from a cancer patient and expose them to proteins made in abundance by tumor cells. Scientists then identify the few T-cells that recognize the tumor proteins and stimulate those to divide, generating a billions-strong population of cancer-fighting cells that can be infused back into the patient. Ideally, this unique population of T-cells will find its way to the tumor site and annihilate the cancer cells.

Personal Interests

In his free time Dr. Riddell enjoys cycling, running, theater and parenting.
