Hosted by Harvard-MIT Center for Regulatory Science, the 2020 Global Conference on Regulatory Science convened academic scientists and physicians, international regulators, industry experts and patient groups to explore emerging topics at the intersection between regulatory science and therapeutic development.

The first in an annual series of conferences, a key aim was to advance and sustain a dialogue between academic investigators active in the field and government and industry groups for whom the evaluation, regulation and marketing of medical products is a central concern. The two-day conference included plenary presentations, panel discussions, breakout sessions, and a poster session.

2020 Theme: Machine Learning and Data Science. The conference covered diverse ways in which new computational approaches are integrating preclinical and clinical trial data, real-world evidence, information from electronic devices etc. to change drug development and medical care.
