“Rick Pazdur has been a tireless public servant and one of the most trusted leaders in biomedical innovation. His decades of dedication to patients, science, and collaboration across sectors have strengthened FDA’s role as a global standard-bearer for cancer care and therapeutic development. At a time when the agency faces both extraordinary opportunity and complexity, Rick’s steady leadership and commitment to scientific integrity make him exactly the right person to lead CDER.”
