Former dean to assume FDA post

By Jay Webster | July 14, 2011

Former Dean of Dartmouth Medical School Stephen Spielberg was appointed the deputy commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, food and drug commissioner Margaret Hamburg wrote in an internal memo to the FDA on Wednesday. "The appointment was part of a reorganization at the top of the nation's leading medical- and food-safety agency," the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday. Spielberg will be instrumental to the operations of the FDA in his new position as deputy commissioner for medical products and tobacco, Hamburg said in the memo. "In this role, Dr. Spielberg will serve as both advocate and a support for center directors in their important work for FDA," Hamburg said. David Nierenberg, doctor of pharmacology at DHMC, said in an interview with The Dartmouth that he thinks Spielberg will be "terrific" in his new post. "I've probably worked with him as much as anyone around here, and I think very highly of Steve Spielberg," Nierenberg said in an interview with The Dartmouth. Spielberg has many qualities that make him well suited for his recent FDA appointment, Nierenberg said. "He has very strong ties to industry, and they respect him," he said.
