Lorenzo Ferri reappointed Director, Division of Thoracic Surgery at the MUHC and McGill University, FMHS
Dear Colleagues,
The Department of Surgery has adopted a policy of conducting a formal external review of the divisions every five years to coincide with leadership renewal. I am delighted to announce that Dr Lorenzo Ferri has been reappointed as Director of the Division of Thoracic Surgery at the MUHC and McGill University.
Dr Ferri is the holder of the David S. Mulder Endowed Chair in Surgery and a tenured Professor in the Departments of Surgery and Oncology at McGill University. He is a surgeon-scientist with a focus on Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer who couples his clinical activity with an active translational and fundamental research program investigating the mechanisms of therapy resistance in gastro-esophageal adenocarcinoma, and the inflammatory basis of cancer progression. Dr Ferri has led the Division of Thoracic and Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery since 2011. Under his leadership, the Division has flourished, growing from three surgeons to eight with the addition of two research faculty members, and has advanced exponentially in terms of volume, research, grants, publication, philanthropy, and education. The Division is recognized as a leading program, both nationally and internationally, with close to 200 publications and $10 million of grants in the last five years.
Please join me in congratulating Dr Ferri on his reappointment and in wishing him continued success in this role.
Liane
