According to the article:

"After months of speculation – and just days before a statutory deadline – President Joe Biden on Friday announced he would nominate Robert Califf to serve as Commissioner of Food and Drugs for the second time."

"Steven Grossman, executive director of the Alliance for a Stronger FDA, told Focus he expects Califf will enter the agency with a more pronounced mandate this time around and "act more resolutely" as a commissioner in the first year of a presidency, compared to his previous stint as commissioner in the final year of the Obama administration.

"I believe Dr. Califf’s priorities will have a common theme: FDA modernization. To achieve the greatest benefit for the American people, FDA needs the resources and tools to address acceleration of medical progress and the potential for a dramatically safer food supply. He will, I predict, advocate for data and technology modernization, improved means of recruiting and retaining FDA employees, facilities upgrades, and the means to make the agency’s processes more efficient, accurate, and responsive," Grossman said."
