Adrienne H. Long, MD, PhD
Instructor, Pediatrics - Hematology & Oncology
BioAdrienne H. Long, MD, PhD is an Instructor and Physician-Scientist in the Division of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology at the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, Stanford. Clinically, she completed her MD at Northwestern University, her pediatrics residency at Boston Children’s Hospital, and her oncology fellowship training at Stanford University. Dr. Long sees patients with leukemias/lymphomas, and has a clinical interest in T cell malignancies.
Dr. Long received her PhD in Microbiology/Immunology through a National Institutes of Health (NIH) – Northwestern University partnership, where she worked with Dr. Crystall Mackall to advance CAR T cell therapies. Her influential thesis work was the first to identify T cell exhaustion as a critical factor limiting efficacy of CAR therapies (Long et al., Nature Medicine, 2015). She continued her research training with Dr. Nicholas Haining at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute during residency and is currently conducting her post-doctoral research with Dr. Mark Davis at Stanford.
Dr. Long’s research interests lie at the intersection of the immune system and cancer therapies. She is currently studying how thymic selection, designed to prevent auto-immunity, may also inhibit anti-tumor immunity in children. She is also interested in how immunotherapies that have revolutionized how we treat cancer can impact the developing pediatric immune system long term. -

He earned his PhD in 2022 from the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University. In the Rosen Lab, Dr. López-Rivera focuses on processing, analyzing, and integrating real world patient date with large biological datasets from a number of state-of-the-art high-throughput approaches including transcriptomics, epigenomics, metabolomics, and metagenomics. His work focuses on elucidating the epigenetic and transcriptional changes that underlie epithelial alterations in pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease and how these are recapitulated in patient-derived organoids as well as identifying clinical, metabolic, and metagenetic changes associated with patient response to therapy. He also provides bioinformatic and biostatistical analysis support to the various researchers and physician scientists of the Center. In his free time, Dr. López-Rivera enjoys cooking, taking care of his plants, and making ceramics.
