Angela C. Hirbe, the Director of the Adult NF Clinical Program, was recently promoted to the rank of Associate Professor with tenure in the Division of Medical Oncology. This is a major milestone in the career of a faculty member at Washington University, signifying excellence in research, recognition at a national level, and outstanding clinical contributions. Dr. Hirbe has been a leader in the development of humanized models of malignant tumors in people with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). She has leveraged these platforms to identify new therapies now in clinical trial for young adults with MPNST.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Hirbe on this well-deserved accolade.
