​Sc​holars and colleagues in Lebanon, the region, and the world gathered at the American University of Beirut on August 30, 2025, to honor and celebrate the career and accomplishments of Dr. Fadlo R. Khuri. We are deepl​y grateful to the trustees, colleagues, alumni, and friends who made donations to support this event and the establishment of the Dr. Fadlo Khuri Festschrift and Fellowship Fund​ (listed here)​, which will provide a sustainable source of funding for hematology/oncology fellows at AUB.

​Prior to his appointment as the 16th president of the American University of Beirut in Beirut, Lebanon on September 1, 2015, Dr. Khuri was the Roberto C. Goizueta Chair in translational research at the Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia. He was instrumental in leading the development of several major cancer-related programs in the United States and was the principal investigator on a number of National Cancer Institute and American Cancer Society grants. He has authored over 750 publications, including 385 peer-reviewed journal articles, 55 reviews, 45 editorials and perspectives in leading journals, 250 meeting abstracts, and over 15 letters, notes, chapters, and short surveys. He served for 10 years (2011-21) as editor-in-chief of Cancer, the oldest and one of the most prestigious journals in the field.​ In 2025, he was elected on the first ballot to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the most prestigious and one of the oldest honorary societies in the US.​​\
