Biography

Angela Shen, ScD, MPH is a retired CAPTAIN from the US Public Health Service after 22 years of service with the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) with expertise in public health practice, policy, research, and FDA-regulation. She specializes in vaccines and immunizations and has held roles as a public health leader, scientist, regulator, and health services researcher — both domestically and abroad —, at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, US Food and Drug Administration, National Vaccine Program Office, Administration for Children and Families, and USAID. Dr. Shen has extensive experience engaging with a wide range of organizations at the global, national and state-levels with government and non-government partners (e.g., medical societies, consumer organizations, PhRMA, WHO, UNICEF, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation) leading and coordinating efforts around systems strengthening, capacity building, information sharing, and providing technical assistance. She publishes frequently on vaccine and immunization policy and practice and her research and practice has been extensively focused on understanding barriers to vaccine innovation, access to immunization services, vaccine financing, adult immunization, and quality and performance measurement in the US healthcare delivery system.
