I would just like to echo that welcome, that's interesting material you suggested would round the the Cervarix studies section - see my suggested rephrasing (WP needs to read as articles for a general reader - often imagined between high-school and undergraduate, rather than an editorial in a pharmaceutical/medical journal). I wonder if you have more informaton on the history, eg why only the 2 strains at 70% disease coverage, rather than 3, 4, 5... or all 12 high-risk strains ? I presume this is a reflection of utility vs cost, and in turn these affect the level of government/individual purchasing and uptake levels (i.e. an all-encompassing vaccine sounds great but takes additional years to develop and proves unaffordable, a single strain vaccine might be cheeper but provides minimal protection).

David Ruben, thanks for the welcome! In response to your question above, Cervarix was designed to induce antibody levels in the serum that can transudate to the cervical mucosa to provide protection against infection and disease caused by HPV-16 and HPV-18, the two most frequent oncogenic HPV types in cervical cancer. In the development of Cervarix, GlaxoSmithKline balanced the incidence and occurrence of oncogenic HPV types and theoretical formulation issues associated with adding additional HPV types to Cervarix.

Removed phone numbers from user page edit

Hi there.

I removed the info about phone numbers re. Cervarix / GSK from your userpage, in accordance with WP:MEDICAL; I hope that you will simply accept and understand that it isn't appropriate to have such information there. Thanks,  Chzz  ►  19:41, 15 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi Chzz. I have included the contact information for reporting potential adverse events with GlaxoSmithKline products on my User Page in case any reader sees that I am from GlaxoSmithKline and goes to my talk page to report this information. The contact information will ensure that the issue is handled as efficiently as possible. As a policy, GlaxoSmithKline never provides medical advice, therefore I don’t think including this contact information is contrary to WP:MEDICAL so I have added the information back to my User Page. Thank you. Maitri Shah, PharmD, GSK (talk) 19:23, 17 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi there, welcome aboard! edit

Hi Maitri, welcome to Wikipedia. I just came back from a digital pharma marketing conference called Digipharm where there was a session on Wikipedia. (see a summary here from another attendee also called Paul http://medigital.wordpress.com/2010/10/04/digipharm-europe-2010-pt-3/). I am pleased to see you are working on articles here under your real name and disclosed position; do you know of any other editors doing this? Best wishes, --PaulWicks (talk) 20:56, 4 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
