Janet Woodcock was named acting commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Jan. 20 by the Biden administration to replace Dr. Stephen Hahn.
Dr. Janet Woodcock hasn’t lived in Blair County for decades, but the area holds “a special place deep in my heart.”
“What’s really stayed with me is my love of nature and natural beauty,” Woodcock, acting commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, said in a phone interview Thursday.
Woodcock, 72, was named to the interim position Jan. 20 by the Biden administration to replace Dr. Stephen Hahn.
She has been employed in various high-level roles within the FDA since 1986, including 10 years as director of the agency’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Review, chief medical officer and deputy commissioner.
