By Scott Gottlieb (Original source Modern Healthcare)
“Dr. Scott Gottlieb has taken industry skeptics by surprise.
When the Trump administration tapped Gottlieb to lead the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last year, branded-drug manufacturers and their investors celebrated. Others were less exuberant.
