"Essentially, it looks like GlaxoSmithKline bamboozled the FDA," he pointed out.


For easy reference, psychiatric academics identified by Grassley's investigation to date, as not fully disclosing money from drug companies, include Joseph Biederman, Thomas Spencer and Timothy Wilens at Harvard, Charles Nemeroff and Zackery Stowe from Emory; Melissa DelBello at the University of Cincinnati; Alan Schatzberg, president of the American Psychiatric Association, from Stanford; Martin Keller at Brown University; Karen Wagner and A John Rush from the University of Texas; and Fred Goodwin, the former host of the radio show, "Infinite Minds," broadcast for years by National Pubic Radio, before it was thrown off the air.


Paxil All-Star Team


During direct examination of Healy, Tracey introduced an exhibit on a 2002 forum called, "Perspectives on Psychiatry for the Future, Summary of Program Evaluations," along with a list of doctors who gave presentations.


"What I would like to do is use this document to prove that these are a list of doctors that are out promoting Paxil for the defendant, and to have Dr. Healy explain, as he has published, how GSK sought to change the culture of how doctors view Paroxetine and pregnancy," he told the judge.


Tracey went through several of the presentations and named off doctors that included Daniel Christensen, Zachary Stowe, Philip Perera, Dean Hamer, Dwight Evans, Karen Wagner, Katherine Beebe, and Prakash Masand.


Healy said he believed that most of the doctors mentioned were on the Paxil speaking team.


Zachary Stowe was listed for a presentation on the topic of, "Use of Antidepressants in Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women."
