Anirban Maitra, Scientific Director of Sheikh Ahmed Center for Pancreatic Cancer Research and Professor of Pathology and Translational Molecular Pathology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleagues co-authored, adding:
