WASHINGTON - (Business Wire) Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) President and CEO Jim Greenwood released the following statement today commending President Barack Obama for his nomination of Dr. Margaret Hamburg as Commissioner and appointment of Dr. Joshua Sharfstein as Deputy Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA):

“BIO welcomes the nomination of Dr. Hamburg as the next FDA Commissioner and we urge the Senate to move swiftly to confirm her. The vital work of the FDA touches every American in very personal ways – from ensuring the safety of the foods we serve our families to overseeing the medicines we give our children when they are sick. The FDA needs a strong, confirmed Commissioner to effectively fulfill its expanding obligations, advocate for sufficient agency resources, ensure the integrity of scientific decisions and promote morale and a sense of mission at the agency.

“Dr. Hamburg’s strong background in public health and bioterrorism make her uniquely qualified for this important position. She served as health commissioner for New York City where she implemented several innovative public health programs, including a control program that reduced New York’s tuberculosis rate by 46 percent She has an understanding of the federal health infrastructure, having worked as an AIDS researcher at the National Institutes of Health and later as an Assistant Secretary at the Department of Health and Human Services. Dr. Hamburg also has served as a key member of the Nuclear Threat Initiative, a non-profit organization focused on reducing the public safety threat from chemical, biological and nuclear weapons.
