Dr. Fadlo has overseen the recruitment of more than 90 professors, including 60 clinical researchers, to Emory University to supervise an increasing number of adult cancer patients undergoing treatment trials annually. The number of these patients has increased from 143 in 2002 to more than 650 in 2014. This has enabled the Winship Center to obtain National Cancer Institute (NCI) designation.

Dr. Fadlo Khuri co-founded the Winship Center for Cancer Drug Discovery, Development, and Delivery, along with Dr. Haiyan Fu. He works closely with Drs. Suresh Ramalingam, Walter Curran, and their colleagues to lead a programmatic approach to exploring novel therapeutic approaches for this disease.
