Thank you, FDA
David Strauss, MD, PhD
CEO & Founder, Translational Cures | Former FDA Acting Chief Scientist
The past 14 years have been a fortuitous journey, one that has included 5 years in FDA’s Center for Devices & Radiological Health (CDRH), 9 years in FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation & Research (CDER), and most recently the role and honor of serving as FDA’s Acting Chief Scientist as the agency has implemented the largest reorganization in its history. To say I am deeply grateful would be an understatement, as I have had the opportunity to work alongside the most brilliant colleagues and stakeholders, dedicated to advancing science and public health.?
After much reflection, I’ve decided that the time has come to seek out new challenges. This decision was not an easy one, as my 14-year journey at the FDA has been deeply fulfilling, both professionally and personally. It has been a pleasure to work with the new Acting Chief Scientist, Dr. Steve Kozlowski, and FDA Principal Deputy Commissioner and prior Chief Scientist, Dr. Namandjé Bumpus, over the past weeks to ensure a smooth transition. As I expressed to colleagues in the Office of the Chief Scientist and the Division of Applied Regulatory Science last week, I am excited to see how FDA scientists will continue to grow, lead, and shape the FDA’s future!
I look forward to continuing my journey of helping translate cutting-edge science into practical solutions that advance public health, and I will share more on this exciting next chapter soon.
Thank you to all FDA colleagues and stakeholders!
