Dr. David is Director of Research in Family Medicine. His research spans the translational continuum from molecular genetics to health policy and is focused on smoking cessation. Recently published studies have identified genetic (pharmacogenetic and pharmacogenomic) influences on drug response to bupropion and nicotine replacement therapy for smoking cessation and have examined brain reward pathways using functional neuroimaging. He is actively translating these data into practice and policy through cost-effectiveness analyses, meta-analyses, and medical informatics working with a Trans-Atlantic transdisciplinary research team. He is also active in clinical practice and education.
Dr. David trained at the University of Washington, the Harvard School of Public Health, the University of Oxford where he was mentored by Sir Richard Doll, was Chief Resident at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, and a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Generalist Physician Faculty Scholar. He has worked as a collaborator and protégé of former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop on numerous projects translating nicotine dependence research into tobacco control policy. He is also Director of the Primary Care Genetics Laboratory & Translational Research Center and C. Everett Koop Health Policy Fellowship.
