Cristine Delnevo, the Director of the Rutgers Tobacco Research Center and a Professor of Health Behavior, Society, and Policy at Rutgers School of Public Health, has been appointed as the Chair of the Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee (TPSAC) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Her tenure will last until January 31, 2025.


In March 2021, Delnevo was appointed as a member of the Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee (TPSAC). TPSAC was established in 2009 to review and evaluate safety, dependence, and health issues related to tobacco products and provide recommendations, information, and advice to the FDA Commissioner. Committee members are chosen by the FDA Commissioner from individuals with medical, medical ethics, scientific, or technical expertise related to the manufacturing, evaluation, or use of tobacco products.


Delnevo stated in a press release issued by Rutgers, "Since the signing of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act in 2009, I have placed great importance on the FDA's advisory committees. As mandated by the Tobacco Control Act, these committees play an important role in several areas, perhaps most notably in the review of modified risk tobacco products.


Delnevo's expertise covers tobacco behavior trends at the population level, particularly in non-cigarette tobacco products such as cigars and electronic cigarettes, tobacco control policies and regulations, and research methods for surveys.
