Vaccines, Blood & Biologics
CBER Foreign Regulators Seminar (Live)
Over recent years, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) has been privileged to host the CBER Foreign Regulators Seminar for foreign regulatory counterparts interested in learning about our biologics review process. This live seminar provides information about the U.S. biologics regulatory process, which includes vaccines, blood and blood products, cellular and gene therapies, human tissues, medical devices, biostatistics and epidemiology, compliance and biologics quality, reviewer training guidance and regulations, bioresearch monitoring, licensing and post-marketing activities, and allows many opportunities for networking and question/answer sessions.
CBER continues to be responsive to requests from our international colleagues. CBER is now privileged to offer the resource: Foreign Regulatory Seminar (Web-Based): CBER’s Regulation of Biologics. This web-based outreach program moves the online viewer through the basic regulatory processes within the Center, and answers many questions submitted to CBER from interested parties all over the world. This web-based program is a pre-requisite for attendance at any live CBER Foreign Regulators Seminar in the future.
The live seminar is generally open only to staff from foreign pharmaceutical regulatory (government) authorities at the request of their organizations. The live outreach program is not intended for U.S. government employees. There would be no registration fee for the live program; however, attendees would be responsible for their own travel, lodging and food expenses.
