He provides analysis, advice and counsel to senior government decision-makers on policy, technology, and operations issues related to weapons of mass destruction and their effects on civilian infrastructure, first responders, military forces, and tactical operations. Prior to this, he served in a variety of leadership positions for private sector companies, spanning the gamut from scientific research start-up to large management consulting firm. Past clients include the Office of the Deputy Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Counterproliferation and Chemical/Biological Defense, the Chemical Biological Defense Directorate of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, the Chemical Biological National Security Program of the Department of Energy, and the DHS Science and Technology Directorate. His work extends broadly across the chemical/biological/radiological/nuclear/conventional explosives (CBRNE) detection and countermeasures arena. For several years, he focused on the counterproliferation of, counterterrorism/domestic preparedness issues for, and the detection, identification, and decontamination of chemical and biological weapons. Recent accomplishments include fielding information operations tools and enhancing the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities to detect and defeat improvised explosive devices as well as the development of applique armor solutions to counter explosively formed penetrators.

http://www.starpod.us/2011/06/22/about-dr-christopher-kit-green-dia-tiger-committee/#.UZ91WpzIIn4Dr. Christopher ‘Kit’ Green is a former senior CIA intelligence official who participated directly in CIA’s paranormal research in the early 1970s.
Although Dr. Green’s name (along with the names of other CIA officials) was redacted from the CIA STAR GATE files, a declassified version of CIA’s “Studies in Intelligence” puts Green with CIA’s LSD (Life Sciences Division) in the early 1970s.
After leaving the CIA in the mid-1980s, Dr. Green became an independent consultant and has served on the Defense Intelligence Agency TIGER (technology warning) Committee, according to the National Academies of Science website, where you can read Dr. Green’s biography:
Christopher C. Green, Chair, is the assistant dean for Asia Pacific of the Wayne State School of Medicine (SOM) in Beijing, China. He is also a clinical fellow in neuroimaging/MRI in the Department of Diagnostic Radiology and the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences of the SOM and the Detroit Medical Center (DMC). His medical specialties are brain imaging, forensic medicine and toxicology, and neurophysiology, and his personal medical practice is in the differential diagnoses of neurodegenerative disease. He has served and continues to serve on many government advisory groups and private sector corporate boards of directors. Immediately prior to his current position, he was executive director for emergent technology research for the SOM/DMC. From 1985 through 2004 he was executive director, Global Technology Policy, and chief technology officer for General Motors’ Asia-Pacific Operations. His career at General Motors included positions as head, Biomedical Sciences Research, and executive director, General Motors Research Laboratory for Materials and Environmental Sciences. His distinguished career with the CIA extended from 1969 to 1985 as a senior division analyst and assistant national intelligence officer for science and technology. His Ph.D. is from the University of Colorado Medical School in neurophysiology, and his M.D. is from the Autonomous City University in El Paso, Texas/Monterey, Mexico, with honors. He also holds the National Intelligence Medal and is a fellow in the American Academy of Forensic Sciences. Dr. Green is a current member of the National Research Council’s Standing Committee on Technology Insight—Gauge, Evaluate, and Review (TIGER).
Green, who has maintained an interest in phenomenology and is a close associate of Dr. Hal Puthoff, the SRI scientist who worked on psychic ‘remote viewing’ for the CIA, was dragged into the ‘Spies, Lies, and Polygraph Tape’ UFO spy games affair by Dr. Ron Pandolfi’s release of a series of private email messages in September 2006.

Interview with Christopher C. Green
The investigation into the assassination of Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov, murdered with a poison-filled pellet shot into his leg (possibly with a converted "umbrella gun") at a bus stop in Britain in 1978, was the most unusual and significant case that medical doctor and forensic specialist Christopher C. Green participated in during his twenty year career as an investigative officer with the Central Intelligence Agency. Green in the analysis of the tiny platinum- and iridium-alloy pellet removed from Markov's leg after his death.
The reason it was so unique, he says, is that "we had pretty much all of the story from a forensic point of view. We had the body, the thing in the body that he was hit with -- the pellet -- and the stuff from the pellet. We knew that the material used to kill him, ricin, had been under development by a foreign service linked to the incident. We also knew that he had been a target of assassination attempts in the past. The story of him being a target was very well known. So we had information on the means, motive, and the opportunity."
"Typically, when someone dies who is involved in an intelligence issue or national policy issue, you have a lot of paranoia , gossip, and rumor, but very little information." In the Markov case, "we had 80 percent of the story,"
says Green, who is now a professor of diagnostic radiology and psychiatry and behavioral neurosciences at Wayne State University's Detroit Medical Center, where he uses brain imaging techniques to watch how the brain functions as people make decisions. (His current work, he says, is a logical outgrowth of his service at the CIA -- where he still serves as a consultant. At the CIA, Green studied how the brain responds to chemicals and neurological agents, while also investigating foreign advances in biological terrorism and chemical warfare).
Although Green and his fellow investigators had all of the forensic information necessary to prove that Markov had been assassinated, and could explain how it happened, Green says that the case would likely have never been solved had Markov not been both a well-known figure in Cold War politics and a well-known target. During his years in exile in Britain, Markov became a broadcast journalist and political commentator for the BBC and CIA-sponsored Radio Free Europe. His sharp criticism of communist party leaders in Bulgaria led to threats on his life. "Most people who say that a foreign power is conspiring to kill them are scatterbrained and delusional," Green says, "but Markov was viewed as stable, solid, and intellectually rigorous. Without his background, he would have been just a guy who died. His death would have called the result of a 'febrile illness of unknown cause,' there would have been no autopsy -- and certainly not the forensic autopsy that was done -- the pellet would never have been found, and we never would have known what really happened."
