President Donald Trump will nominate Stephen Hahn, a well-regarded cancer specialist and hospital administrator, to lead the FDA
President Donald Trump on Friday will nominate Stephen Hahn, a well-regarded cancer specialist and hospital administrator, to lead the FDA, three people familiar with the decision told POLITICO.
Ned Sharpless, who had been the acting FDA commissioner since Gottleib's departure this spring, could only have remained in the position through Friday if Trump didn't nominate a new commissioner. However, the Trump administration instead will temporarily name HHS Assistant Secretary of Health Brett Giroir as the interim FDA chief until Hahn is installed.As FDA commissioner, Hahn would oversee a sprawling bureaucracy with a $5.
For example, former President Barack Obama's second pick to head the agency, Robert Califf, was held up over concerns about FDA's work on opioids, although lawmakers had no particular objections to Califf's background on the topic. Those who've worked with Hahn predict he'll rise to the challenge and fill in gaps in his knowledge base.
Bird said unlike some physicians Hahn is able to easily move from an individual patient situation to thinking about broader health policy. "Physicians like that make great leaders," she said.
