In May, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary named Vinay Prasad the next director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER). Within three months, Prasad resigned.
“Dr. Prasad did not want to be a distraction to the great work of the FDA in the Trump administration and has decided to return to California and spend more time with his family,” a spokesperson for the US Department of Health and Human Services told CNN.
