Sundlof, DVM, PhD, was CVM director before taking his new position. His vacancy was filled by Dunham, DVM, PhD, who had formerly served as CVM deputy director.
"It is more important than ever that the American public feel confident in the safety of the food they eat and feed their loved ones," says FDA Commissioner Andrew C. von Eschenbach. "Drs. Sundlof and Dunham are world-class scientists and leaders, with the dedication, vision and expertise needed to tackle challenges and enhance the science involved in assuring the safety and nutritional value of something so vital to healthy life; namely our food."
