Kreesten Madsen
Kreesten Meldgaard Madsen is a Danish epidemiologist and expert on infectious diseases[1] who, as of 2003, worked at the Danish Epidemiology Science Centre at Aarhus University. He is known for leading two studies that found no link between either the MMR vaccine and autism[2] or thimerosal and autism.[3] The first of these studies pertained to MMR and was published in 2002; the second pertained to thimerosal and was published in 2003. Both of these studies received considerable media attention.[4][5][6][7]
