speakers from leading pharmaceutical companies including Eli Lilly,
Takeda, Spark Therapeutics, and Syneos Health and regulators from
the US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA), European Medicines
Agency (EMA), and Health Canada, for the 2024 ISPE Annual Meeting
& Expo.
"I look forward to joining this year's conference to share how
regulators are working together to build a global regulatory
reliance capability to better enable industry quality management,"
said Theresa Mullin, PhD, Associate
Center Director - Strategic Initiatives, FDA Center for Drug
Evaluation and Research. "This patient-centered approach means
looking beyond industry GMP compliance, to quality management that
helps reduce the risk of shortages and ensure the availability of
needed medicines. Quality management requires updating and
innovating throughout the life cycle to continuously improve
products and processes. This results in more agile quality
management, improved operational resilience for both regulators and
industry, and increased reliability in the supply of needed
medicines for patients."
