On November 10, 2014, FDA announced that Susan Mayne, Ph.D., an expert in nutrition,
toxicology, and epidemiology, will become director of the Center
for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition ("CFSAN") when
Michael Landa resigns in January 2015. In its announcement, FDA
indicated that CFSAN is "transforming the food safety system
and taking new steps to address chronic disease and obesity,"
noting that Mayne's experience will provide strong support for
these initiatives. Mayne is currently a professor at the Yale
School of Public Health and associate director of the Yale Cancer
Center. She will take over the CFSAN position from Landa, who has
led the Center since 2010.
