Has Zehra Aygen received payments from drug or device companies?

Does a payment mean Zehra Aygen did something wrong?

No. Federal law requires drug and device makers to report almost every transfer of value to a physician, including a $14 sandwich at a lunch presentation. Consulting fees, research funding and royalties to device inventors are ordinary, legal parts of medicine. This site reports what was disclosed; it makes no allegation.

Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 92 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 18 manufacturers reported payments, led by GSK at 28.3% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $446 and has fallen 57.6% since, to $189 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in NJ with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
