Background

About Ryan Conrad

I am a Senior Economist at the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. I serve as a Center expert in the economics of prescription drug markets putting to use my unique skill set at the intersection of economics, data science, law, regulatory policy, and market dynamics. My time at FDA has given me a thorough understanding of how prescription drug markets form and function, often taking deep dives into the dynamics of specific therapeutic areas. I take pride in bridging my expertise in advanced econometric and data science methodologies with my ability to translate complex insights into clear, actionable recommendations. I strive to ensure that my work empowers both technical and non-technical audiences to make informed decisions. I'm well-versed in the Hatch-Waxman Act, with experience analyzing how patents, exclusivities, REMS, and other factors relate to brand protection and generic entry. Feel free to reach out.
