Biography
Dr. Huddleston joined the faculty at the University of Minnesota in December 2015 where he is an Associate Professor of Surgery in the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, and the Surgical Director of the Lung Transplant Program at the University of Minnesota Medical Center. He received his medical degree from Columbia University in 2000 and completed his internship and residency in General Surgery at the University of Minnesota. Dr. Huddleston received his Ph.D. in surgery at University of Minnesota in 2009 defending his thesis, “Graft Antigen-Specific CD4+ T cells require CD154 Expression to Clonally Expand and Differentiate to the Th1 phenotype and initiate mTOR Dependent Intimal Hyperplasia in Cardiac Allografts.” After completing his cardiothoracic surgery training at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD, he was a private practice cardiothoracic surgeon at St. Luke’s Hospital in Duluth, MN starting in 2012 until he returned to the University of Minnesota. He is board certified in Surgery and Thoracic Surgery.
Dr. Huddleston has mentored numerous medical students and residents with an interest in cardiac surgery, and he teaches cardiothoracic surgery fellows at the University of Minnesota Medical Center, St. John's Hospital and the Veterans Administration Medical Center-Minneapolis.

Research
Dr. Huddleston's primary academic interest is in lung transplantation with a focus on clinical outcomes and transplant immunology, as well as ex vivo lung perfusion. He has been the site principal investigator for two multicenter clinical trials examining the role of warm ex vivo lung perfusion in lung transplant. The device used for this research, TransMedics Lung OCS, is now FDA approved and expanding the donor pool. Also, he collaborates with Regents Professor Marc Jenkins, PhD, an immunologist using advanced immunologic techniques to detect and characterize CD4+ T cells with specificity for the donor lung in the blood of lung transplant recipients. In addition to transplant immunology, he has an interest in lung transplant and cardiac surgery outcomes research using institutional and national databases to inform clinical decision making and improve outcomes.
