President Joe Biden on Friday announced that he will nominate former Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf to once again head the agency.
Califf, who was commissioner for nearly a year starting in February 2016, “is one of the most experienced clinical trialists in the country, and has the experience and expertise to lead the Food and Drug Administration during a critical time in our nation’s fight to put an end to the coronavirus pandemic,” Biden said in a statement.
