Trump nominates Texas oncologist Stephen Hahn to lead FDA
President Trump has nominated Texas oncologist Dr. Stephen Hahn to be the new commissioner for the Food and Drug Administration.
Hahn, named to the post Friday, is chief medical executive at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, which is one of the largest cancer research centers in the United States. If confirmed by the Senate, he will take the helm at the agency at a time when the Trump administration is looking at banning flavored e-cigarettes and at ways to lower drug prices and fight the opioid crisis.
