Vinay Prasad to run key FDA division that oversees vaccines

Vinay Prasad to run key FDA division that oversees vaccines

Vinay Prasad, a prominent academic known for his strong critiques of the medical establishment, has been appointed as the new director of the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. This center is responsible for overseeing the regulation of vaccines, gene therapies, and the blood supply.

Prasad, who previously served as an epidemiology professor at the University of California, San Francisco, has not shied away from criticizing the FDA in the past. His appointment to such a key position has raised concerns in the biotech industry, with the S&P Biotech ETF experiencing a significant drop of over 5% following the news.

FDA Commissioner Marty Makary officially announced Prasad’s appointment in a Tuesday email to staff, which was later shared on the social media platform X. Prasad will be taking over from Peter Marks, the former director of CBER who was asked to resign by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in March.

Prasad’s appointment comes at a crucial time when the FDA is facing increased scrutiny and pressure to ensure the safety and efficacy of medical products, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. His background in epidemiology and his history of speaking out against the pharmaceutical industry and medical practices may bring a fresh perspective to the FDA’s regulatory processes.

It will be interesting to see how Prasad’s leadership at the CBER will impact the agency’s approach to evaluating and approving new biologics and therapies. With his reputation as a vocal critic of the status quo, Prasad’s appointment is likely to spark debates and discussions within the medical and scientific communities about the future direction of FDA regulations.

As Prasad takes on this new role, stakeholders will be closely watching to see how he navigates the complex landscape of vaccine and gene therapy regulation, and how his leadership may shape the future of biologics evaluation at the FDA.
