Dr. Robert M. Califf has long been a driving force in clinical research and public health policy. Twice appointed commissioner of food and drugs (2016-17 and 2022-25), he led the FDA through transformative periods in health care. Between these roles, he guided strategy at Verily and Google Health, advancing digital health innovation. At Duke University, Califf served as vice chancellor and founded the Duke Clinical Research Institute, one of the world’s leading academic research organizations. His work has consistently championed equitable access to care and greater diversity in clinical trials. These principles have shaped national policy and inspired DEI change across the field.
