The Bonnie J. and Anthony Addario Endowed Chair in Thoracic Oncology has been created in the Department of Surgery in honor of Thierry Jahan, M.D., an Associate Professor of Medicine at UCSF, who will occupy the Chair as its first recipient. Dr. Jahan is the one of the region's most highly regarded thoracic oncologists and sarcoma specialists, known among patients, their families, and colleagues for his deep sense of empathy and compassion. Dr. Jahan  co-founded the multidisciplinary Thoracic Oncology Program with David Jablons M.D.. On July 9, 2009, there was a celebration held at the Kalmonovitz Library at UCSF to honor Dr. Jahan and his appointment to the newly created Chair.
