FDA nominee dismisses ties to pharmaceutical sector
FDA nominee dismisses ties to pharmaceutical sector-thehill: President Obama’s nominee to lead the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) on Tuesday defended himself against a chorus of
Democratic criticism about his close ties to the pharmaceutical
industry. Dr. Robert Califf, a cardiologist who has
worked closely with drug companies on product studies, stressed that he
has conducted his work with a critical eye with a particular focus on
public safety.
