What formal education and degrees does Dr. David E. Martin hold in epidemiology or related fields?

1. Name collisions and why credentials look scattered

Multiple search results appear to describe different people named David Martin (or David E. Martin) working in distinct fields — pharmacy/pharmaceutical development (PharmD; industry roles) and university technology-transfer/management (BA, MS, PhD) — which explains conflicting credential lists across profiles ^{[1] [2]}. The presence of several academic profiles and organizational bios means any single “Dr. David E. Martin” claim needs verification against a specific institutional affiliation ^{[1] [2] [4]}.

2. Pharmacy/industry résumé: PharmD and drug-development fellowships

One profile reports that David E. Martin earned a PharmD from the University of Southern California and completed a residency in clinical pharmacy at USC, followed by a fellowship in drug development at the University of North Carolina and Glaxo ^[1]. That source situates him as an industry executive and drug-development specialist, which aligns with leadership roles at DFH Pharma and prior positions in pharmaceutical companies ^[1].

3. Academic/technology-transfer résumé: BA, MS, PhD and UVA ties

Another organizational biography attributes an undergraduate BA from Goshen College, an MS from Ball State University, and a Doctorate (PhD) from the University of Virginia to “Dr. Martin,” and cites his role founding university-affiliated companies and serving as a Batten Fellow at UVA’s Darden School ^[2]. A 2006 WIPO speakers page also describes a Dr. Martin with a history as an assistant professor at the University of Virginia School of Medicine involved in technology transfer and clinical research ^[4]. These academic credentials point to a research/innovation-management trajectory distinct from the pharmacy-industry résumé ^{[2] [4]}.

4. Epidemiology-specific training: available sources do not confirm a degree

A University of Montana fact-check case study mentions “Epidemiology at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill” in relation to fact-checking Dr. David Martin, but it does not provide a clear record of a formal epidemiology degree for him ^[3]. None of the provided profiles explicitly list a formal degree titled “M.P.H.,” “M.S. in Epidemiology,” or “Ph.D. in Epidemiology” for a Dr. David E. Martin. Therefore, available sources do not mention a confirmed formal degree in epidemiology for the individual you asked about ^{[3] [1] [2]}.

5. Where sources agree and where they diverge

Sources consistently present Dr. David Martin figures as highly credentialed, with doctoral-level titles in some bios ^{[2] [4]}, and as having substantial experience in pharmaceuticals or university tech transfer ^{[1] [4]}. They diverge on the specific degrees and disciplines: one describes a PharmD and industry fellowships ^[1] while another lists BA/MS/PhD and UVA affiliations ^[2]. The fact-check study flags epidemiology at UNC in that web of claims but does not document a named epidemiology degree ^[3].

6. What remains unverified and recommended next steps

Available sources do not provide a single authoritative CV tying together all claimed degrees in one person, nor do they show a named epidemiology degree. For precise verification, consult primary institutional records (degree-granting universities or faculty pages) or an official CV published by the specific Dr. David E. Martin whose epidemiology credentials you are querying. The University of Montana fact-check study, the M·CAM about page, and the industry profile are starting points but do not settle the epidemiology-degree question ^{[3] [2] [1]}.

Limitations: This analysis uses only the supplied search results and therefore cannot confirm or refute credentials not explicitly listed in those excerpts; where sources are silent I state that they do not mention the item in question ^{[3] [1] [2]}.
