Biography
Gregory Patrick Fagan, PhD, is a global health researcher whose work examines how pharmaceutical evidence is produced, interpreted, and governed within real-world health systems. Drawing on sociology, medical anthropology, and applied epistemic analysis, he studies how assumptions embedded in evidence design shape regulation, access, and therapeutic uptake across diverse settings. He has held senior roles in global health and rare disease programs and works at the intersection of pharmaceutical development, humanitarian access, and health systems.
