Health policy adviser to Sen. Pat Roberts joins pharmaceutical company

Posted by John Sugden on May 6, 2014

Jennifer Boyer, former senior adviser to Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), has taken an advocacy job at a pharmaceutical company.

Boyer is now director of policy and advocacy at Alkermes Inc. She has not yet registered as a lobbyist.

Boyer, who holds a master's degree in public health, began advising Roberts on health policy issues in late 2010. While working for Roberts, she led efforts to educate Kansas residents on health care issues and provide care for rural areas of the state. During her time on Capitol Hill she also served on the Health Care Subcommittee of the Senate Finance Committee.

Headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, Alkermes manufactures a variety of drugs that target diseases affecting the central nervous system.
