As I explained in my letter of resignation, when I became a member of the PMPRB, I thought that I had been recruited because of my expertise and knowledge of policies pertaining to innovation in, and access to,medicines, and because of my publications on the joint development of public policy and consultation processes.
Whether professionally or personally, my reputation is usually that of someone who takes action, and I try to conduct my research projects that way as well. I'm known as someone who can bring together parties that are opposed at the outset. I try to find things that people can agree on in order to move things forward at a societal level.
