Dr. Robert Califf has deep ties to the drug industry - One step closer to becoming the new FDA commissioner. TAKE ACTION!
Dr. Robert Califf has deep ties to the drug industry—and he’s one step closer to becoming the new FDA commissioner. We MUST keep this guy out of government affairs - Dr. Califf’s lucrative dealings with the drug industry are well known. He ran a clinical research center at Duke University that received the majority of its multi-million-dollar budget from Big Pharma. According to financial disclosures from last year, Dr. Califf received money for consulting with at least seven drug and medical device companies, and, according to the New York Times, six other companies at least partially underwrote his university salary, including Merck, Novartis, and Eli Lilly. The conflict-of-interest section of a paper he wrote for the European Heart Journal last year lists financial support from more than twenty companies. Daniel Carpenter, a Harvard political science professor and an expert on the FDA, called Dr. Califf the “ultimate industry insider.” The New York Times notes that “he has deeper ties to the pharmaceutical industry than any FDA commissioner in recent memory.”
