Pfizer hires senior FDA official for top rolePfizer hires senior FDA official for top role
On Monday, Pfizer named former senior FDA official Patrizia Cavazzoni as its chief medical officer.
Until this year, Cavazzoni headed the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), which regulates drugs sold to the American public. She resigned from the agency in January amid President Donald Trump’s return to the White House.
Pfizer’s appointment of Cavazzoni—who served two decades in senior executive roles at drugmakers before joining the FDA—has sparked renewed corruption allegations over the FDA's “revolving door” with Big Pharma.
