Op-Ed: The right leader for the FDA in a time of crisis [Los Angeles Times]
President Biden’s commitment to science is lifelong, and he has shown this through many excellent appointments to health-related positions in his administration. However, one of the most important appointments, commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, has not yet been made.
FDA is charged with critical review and scientific decisions to protect and ensure public health. This includes the review of COVID-19 vaccines, tests and treatments, as well as life-extending cancer therapies, and the review of medical devices that millions of patients rely on every day.

WASHINGTON, DC - Investigators leading the Lung Cancer Master Protocol, or Lung-MAP trial, will present findings from three translational medicine studies at the 2020 World Conference on Lung Cancer, to be held online January 28-31, 2021.
The presentations will mark the first time that investigators share translational medicine insights from Lung-MAP, the first large-scale precision medicine trial in lung cancer backed by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health, and the first major NCI trial to test multiple treatments, simultaneously, under one umbrella design. Since it launched in June 2014, the trial has tested 12 new lung cancer drugs. Lung-MAP has also amassed a scientifically valuable cache of data and biospecimens from 3,021 patients.

In recent months, scientists and policymakers around the globe have rallied together with one common goal: to eliminate Covid-19. Budgets have been revised to funnel money toward research, competitive barriers between scientists and companies have been lowered, and regulatory processes have been reworked to help safe and effective drugs and vaccines get to patients faster. It’s a time of urgency, of disruptive healthcare changes, and of creative problem-solving.
