FAIRFAX, Va., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) today named Julia E. Bradsher, Ph.D., as its new CEO, replacing Founder Anne Munoz-Furlong, who is retiring.

She is well positioned to help set FAAN's strategic agenda for the next five years."

Hugh Sampson, M.D., FAAN's Medical Director, said, "Julia's background in health policy and administration, her understanding of anaphylaxis and its effects on patients and their families, and her appreciation of the history and culture of FAAN make her an ideal candidate to lead the organization over the coming years. With Julia, our patients' welfare and scientific accuracy will remain at the forefront of FAAN's mission."

Bradsher holds a Ph.D. in medical sociology from the University of Miami and a master's in business administration from the Sawyer School of Management at Suffolk University in Boston.
