The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing a public workshop entitled "From Concept to Consumer: Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) Working with Stakeholders on Scientific Opportunities for Facilitating Development of Vaccines, Blood and Blood Products, and Cellular, Tissue, and Gene Therapies."
The goal of the public workshop is to provide stakeholders a forum for the development of innovative scientific knowledge and tools to facilitate the development and availability of new biological products including vaccines, blood and blood products, and cellular, tissue, and gene therapies. The Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) is seeking input from government and nongovernment research organizations, medical professional organizations, health care practitioners, patients, disease interest groups, pharmaceutical and biological product manufacturers and their industry organizations, and others with interests in facilitating development of the biological products that CBER regulates. The workshop will cover delineation of opportunities in key technologies and medical science knowledge needed to contribute to science based evaluation of the safety and efficacy of those biological products, and innovative development processes to manufacture them. FDA will discuss and welcomes input concerning all applicable areas of science including, but not limited to, bench laboratory investigations, clinical research and clinical trial design and execution, facility and manufacturing process research, statistical and epidemiological research, and computer science and computer modeling research. The workshop will not cover discussions of biological product discovery and invention, or regulatory policies. The workshop will include presentations by FDA speakers and breakout sessions with panels composed of both FDA staff and non-FDA stakeholders, with an opportunity for public questions and comments.
The workshop will be held on October 7, 2004 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., at the The Gaithersburg Marriott Washingtonian Center, 9751 Washingtonian Boulevard, Gaithersburg, MD 20878
