Congratulations to Marina Baretti, MD who today was installed as the inaugural recipient of the Jiasheng Professorship in Hepato-Biliary Cancer Research at the Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Dr. Baretti has been actively involved in both FLC patient care and research. She has been instrumental to several path breaking research efforts for this disease, including the ongoing peptide vaccine and DRP-104 glutamine antagonist trials.

One of the highest honors a university can bestow on a faculty member is an appointment to an endowed professorship. Endowed professorships recognize extraordinary clinicians, researchers and educators. We congratulate her for this achievement and thank her for her tireless efforts to help FLC patients!
