Trump announces intent to nominate cancer doctor Stephen Hahn to be commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration
If confirmed, Hahn �� a radiation oncologist, researcher and top official at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston �� would head an agency that regulates a broad swath of the economy, including brand-name and generic drugs, medical devices, much of the nation��s food supply, and tobacco products. The FDA is currently embroiled in a high-profile controversy over youth vaping and the president��s decision to ban most flavored e-cigarettes.
Hahn, 59, would succeed acting FDA chief Norman ��Ned�� Sharpless, who was also a major contender for the commissioner��s post.
