Dr. Fadlo Khuri, president of the American University of Beirut (AUB) and an internationally recognized oncologist, has been named among the 100 most influential people in oncology in 2025 by OncoDaily, the leading global media platform dedicated to cancer research, clinical practice, innovation, and oncology leadership.

"The 100 Most Influential People in Oncology in 2025 recognizes the changemakers in cancer care who have helped shape current practice in oncology and continue to drive innovation and research towards better outcomes, advocacy, philanthropy, leadership, and education," the announcement stated.

In response to the news, Khuri said it has been his personal mission to treat patients with cancer, to study the disease, its biology, prevention, and treatment. "Even as I transitioned into more administrative roles, I have remained connected with the public health implications of this disease and its prevention, through the enactment and support vigorous smoking cessation and cancer prevention programs."

"My nomination among these influential global changemakers in cancer care at this stage in my career, or at any stage for that matter, reinforces my unwavering commitment to the field," he added.
