Trump is betting on a Washington outsider to lead the FDA
“Whether Dr. Hahn aggressively tackles e-cigarettes will be one of the defining issues for which he is known,” said Matthew Myers, President of the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids. “What he does and whether he succeeds in stemming the youth e-cigarette epidemic will inevitably be his legacy.”
Hahn has not worked in Washington since leaving the National Cancer Institute nearly a quarter-century ago, and instead climbed the ranks as an academic and hospital administrator at the University of Pennsylvania’s medical school and MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas. Though a longtime GOP donor, he has largely steered clear of politics, and has no direct ties to a Trump White House that has often stocked its ranks with loyalists.
As this was happening, Hahn was in the running for the top medical job at New York’s Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center — a lucrative role that could have represented the capstone of an acclaimed career as a cancer researcher.
