Home » FDA’s Hamburg Oversaw Faster Device Approvals, Budget Rise
Margaret Hamburg has resigned as commissioner of the U.S. FDA, effective at the end of this month, ending a six-year tenure that saw the agency speed up its device approval process and increase its focus on personalized medicine. Under Hamburg’s watch, the agency’s budget rose by nearly $2 billion — from $2.7 billion in fiscal year 2009 to $4.5 billion this year.
