Dr. David A Kessler, M.D., who served as the commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration from 1990-1997, will now be serving as the Chief Science Officer of COVID Response under President Joe Biden. 

Kessler served as the head of the FDA under Presidents George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton and served as a co-chair of the COVID-19 Task Force for President-elect Joe Biden. His role as Chief Science Officer was made during an announcement from the presidential transition office on January 15. 

Under the FDA, Dr. Kessler was sworn in on the same day that the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (NLEA) was signed. He would go on to become one of the key architects of the Nutrition Facts panel, which was considered controversial when it was first introduced and implemented.

His responsibilities will be for the scientific side of Operation Warp Speed, an effort by President Trumps administration to rapidly develop vaccines and treatments. Kesslers post does not require Senate approval and begins immediately.
