Jay Bhattacharya

Jay Bhattacharya appears in Supercharging a New FDA: Marty Makary on Science, Power & Patients through Marty Makary’s COVID-era and NIH-reform discussion. Makary says he and Bhattacharya argued for reopening schools once data emerged in 2020, using that episode as part of the source’s broader Medical Dogma Trust Repair frame.

Bhattacharya is also named positively in the source’s NIH section. Makary praises his reform work while describing a hoped-for reallocation of research attention toward food, school lunches, microbiome, gut health, sleep, and environmental disease causes.
