Dr. Michael Green, CDC researcher, will speak at the Partnership for Safe Medicines Interchange
Dr. Michael Green has been a research Chemist in the Divison of Parasitic Diseases, CDC, for 16 years. His areas of interest include antimalarial drug analysis for pharmacokinetic and drug quality studies and developing simple inexpensive field tests to assess drug quality of pharmaceuticals as well as insecticide levels in bednets.
Says Dr. Green, "Producing counterfeits is just too easy and it angers me that these cowards prey on poor people in developing countries who have a host of other problems to deal with; not to mention dying from a preventable disease of which they would have been cured if they took a good-quality drug."
