Annual Aquaculture Drug Approval Coordination Workshop...
The Annual Aquaculture Drug Approval Coordination Workshop (formerly known as the INAD Workshop) is normally held every summer during late July to early August in Bozeman, MT. The Workshop is intended for anyone interested in collaborative efforts to obtain FDA-approval of new animal drugs for use in aquaculture. Also, the Workshop is a great opportunity to present your research, learn from others and meet with representatives of drug companies and FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine.
14th Annual Workshop
2008: This year's workshop was again held in Bozeman, Montana. This year appears to have been a record breaker; officially 89 registered and were in attendance. Not only was it a record-breaker for total attendance, but FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine also broke a record by sending 13 members of their staff. CVMer's attending covered a broad spectrum of the Center's staff; all the way from a summer student intern (Courtney Coddington) to two Office Directors (Dr. Steve Vaughn, Office of New Animal Drug Evaluation and Dr. Meg Oeller, Office of Minor Use and Minor Species).
Special thanks goes out to all that attended and made the workshop the success it was. Extra special appreciation is expressed to representatives or senior management of FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine, US Geological Survey, US Fish & Wildlife Service and the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies for attending and providing keynotes addresses. See below for more information on the Workshop.
This year's Workshop would not have been possible if it were not for the generous assistance of the chemical and pharmaceutical companies attending. Our hats go off to Aquatic Life Sciences, Inc., Axcentive SARL, Bimeda USA, BioOregon/Skretting, Carus Chemical, Eka Chemical, Frontier Scientific Inc., Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health and Novartis Animal Health. We can't say THANK YOU enough!!!
