DIAGNOS WELCOMES FORMER WHITE HOUSE ECONOMIC ADVISER DR. TOMAS J. PHILIPSON TO ITS ADVISORY BOARD FOR THE US MARKET

Dr. Tomas J. Philipson has joined Diagnos Inc.'s advisory board.

He currently serves as managing partner of the venture capital firm Meda Ventures, serves on several corporate boards and has co-founded several companies, including Precision Health Economics LLC, with an exit in 2015 (currently owned by Blackstone).

His government service includes a full-time position as vice-chairman and acting chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers from 2017 to 2020. He previously served as a senior economic adviser to the head of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and a senior economic adviser to the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Dr. Philipson was appointed to the Key Indicator Commission by the Speaker of the House of Representatives in 2012. He was a scientific adviser to the House of Representatives initiative 21st Century Cures in 2015 and the Biden Cancer Initiative in 2017. He served as a health care adviser to Senator John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign.

He received numerous worldwide research awards while he was a chaired professor at the University of Chicago. He is a two-time winner of the Arrow Award of the International Health Economics Association, the highest honour in health economics. Other awards include the Garfield Award for Economic Research, the Premio Haralambos Simeonidis from the Brazilian Economic Association and the Milken Institute's Distinguished Economic Research Award.

He received a BA in mathematics from Uppsala University in Sweden, an MA in mathematics from Claremont Graduate School, and an MA and PhD in economics from the Wharton School and the University of Pennsylvania.
