Biography

Dr. Till is an assistant member at Fred Hutch and an assistant professor at UW. He specializes in lymphoma and stem cell transplantation. Dr. Till also conducts research on developing new immunotherapies for lymphoma, with a focus on using patients' own T cells to fight their lymphomas, using genetically engineered cells with chimeric antigen receptors(CARs). Dr. Till earned his M.D. from the University of Chicago, then received internal medicine training with a residency at the University of Pennsylvania. He then came to Seattle to specialize in oncology with a fellowship at Fred Hutch and the UW. He is board certified in medical oncology and is a member of the SWOG national clinical trials group, the American Society of Hematology, the National Cancer Institute Clinical Trials Planning Meetings (Lymphoma Steering Committee). He has received research funding from the American Society of Clinical Oncology, Lymphoma Research Foundation, Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation and the National Cancer Institute.

Research Interest

Clinical and laboratory research in CAR T cell therapy (using gene therapy to train patients' immune cells to attack their lymphomas).
