Politico has hired Maaisha Osman as a reporter for its U.S. Food and Drug Administration team, covering the decisions that shape the medicines Americans take, from drug regulation to drug pricing.
She will start in December.
Osman previously covered the FDA and federal drug-pricing policies at Pink Sheet and Inside Health Policy. Her reporting included scooping major shake-ups in FDA leadership, big policy developments across administrations and conflicts of interest involving members of federal vaccine advisory panels and senior health officials.
