The Ann B. Young Assistant Professorship in Cancer Research

The Professorship was created in 1974 by the Young Foundation, which was founded and funded by H. Albert Young, former Attorney General of the State of Delaware and an alumnus of the University of Pennsylvania Law School, and his wife, Ann B. Young. The Professorship serves as an enduring tribute to Ann B. Young, who died of cancer in 1972.

John H. Glick, MD was the first recipient of the Professorship. The Young family is proud to have supported him in the early stages of his career. His accomplishments and those of later chairholders are realizing Mr. Young’s wish "to contribute in some measure toward a breakthrough in the ultimate cure of this ravaging disease.”
