My op-ed on the large shift of drug discovery moving to China and policy steps the U.S. can take to keep the innovation economy in America. "Five years ago, U.S. drug makers didn’t license any new drugs from China. By 2024, 1/3 came from Chinese biotech" statnews.com/2025/05/06/how…

My @STATNEWS Op Ed: President Trump often touted that his first administration approved more generic drugs than any in history. He had good reason to highlight the success. Recently, however, the FDA team enabling these approvals was disbanded. It may undo that historic progress

Today's ACIP meeting is usually a time where experts come together to inform the future of vaccines. That is not what today will be. That is not what we can stand behind. The AAP will continue to recommend its own childhood vaccine schedule -- just as we have since the 1930s.

This is a ⁦The Washington Post⁩ editorial I have carried with me for over 24 years. It’s sad to think that even tho the science is even stronger now proving the value of vaccines, the risk of this dangerous rhetoric has only grown.
