The Malasanos Distinguished Lectureship was endowed in 1992 in honor of John Malasanos, husband of former College of Nursing Dean Lois Malasanos.

Dr. Bakitas is an eminent and internationally recognized scholar whose content expertise focuses on the principles/concepts of hematology/oncology, bone marrow/stem cell transplantation, pain and symptom management, palliative care, and novel qualitative and mixed methods research. Through her sustained scholarship, she has focused on conducting innovative pain and symptom management and palliative care interventions to improve the quality of life and care for people with serious, life-limiting illness and their families through improved management of distressing physical symptoms.

Dr. Bakitas has participated in 27 funded research grants and served as the principal investigator on 12. Currently, she has R01 funding from the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) for an in-progress palliative care randomized clinical intervention trial and has additional funding for two companion grants. The goal of her current project is to determine the effectiveness of a phone-based palliative care intervention for rural cancer patients and caregivers.
