Faster cures through better evidence

I’ve devoted my career to advancing biomedical innovation and public health, having worked at FDA and in health policy research and think tanks. I’ve had firsthand experience shaping and implementing health policy and improving health data, and I’m excited to share what I’ve learned and learn from others in the field.

I am interested in biomedical innovation and how to advance it, but, more specifically, I’m interested in clinical evidence: how we generate it, learn from it, and apply it to improve health. There has been tremendous progress in biomedical science, but I believe that progress in medicine will depend on our ability to improve the systems that we use to generate clinical evidence.

Pancake-flipping dad

When I’m not busy reading and writing, I enjoy hiking with my wife and son, watching and attending baseball games, and experimenting in the kitchen (I’m still perfecting my pancake recipe). I also love listening to and playing music; my toddler son, wife and I have a living room full of musical instruments and enjoy playing them together. My family recently moved to the San Francisco Bay Area after spending most of my career in Washington DC, and while I miss the snow, I don’t miss DC summers.
