Geoff Hill is a medical graduate of the University of Auckland and Hematologist, training in New Zealand and The Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. He was PI of an immunology laboratory in Brisbane, Australia between 2001 and 2018 which focused on the interactions between cytokines, antigen presenting cells and T cell differentiation during transplantation. His laboratory developed a number of paradigms in the field that have instructed clinical practice over this period. Prof Hill moved to The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle in 2018 to take up the Jose Carreras/E. Donnall Thomas Endowed Chair for Cancer Research and Director roles for Hematopoietic Stem Cell transplantation and the Immunotherapy Integrated Research Center. He is also Senior Vice President and Division Director, Translational Science and Therapeutics at the Fred Hutch Cancer Center. Over the last 5 years his laboratory has developed new approaches to study aberrant and tumor-specific immune responses in tissue that have led to a number of new NIH R01, U01 and P01 funded preclinical and translational clinical studies.
