Previous Events
Virtual Event
This symposium provides an opportunity for doctoral students to present their research in a friendly, supportive environment and to receive feedback from faculty and other students who are also interested in regulatory science. Last year, students and faculty joined us from diverse fields including health economics, bioethics, policy, pharmaceutical and medical device R&D, biomedical research, and more.

Virtual Webconference
Speakers:
Dr. Bruce Chabner, Clinical Director Emeritus of the MGH Cancer Center &
Dov Grossman, Partner at the law firm Williams & Connolly LLP
About the talk:
This talk will focus on what anyone working on innovative small molecule drugs should understand: the interplay between the FDA approval process and patent litigation. It will provide an overview of how patent litigation factors into the drug approval process, discuss the differing strategic considerations for brand and generic companies in such litigation, and review various examples of “Hatch-Waxman” brand-generic patent litigation.

The 2020 Global Conference on Regulatory Science will convene 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 is 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.

Join us for the annual meeting of the Boston area regulatory science community, hosted by the Harvard-MIT Center for Regulatory Science. This is a scientific meeting open to the entire community that aims to promote open, multi-stakeholder dialogue about important regulatory science challenges and advances. In addition to members of the Center, this symposium welcomes broader participation from academia, regulatory agencies, industry, and patient advocates. In addition to scientific talks and panel discussions, there will be a poster session open for graduate students and fellows to present their research. The agenda can be seen here.
This year’s featured topics include:
- Real-World Evidence
- Digital Health
- Advances in International
- Clinical Trials
- Complex Generics
- Drug Repurposing for Unmet Needs
- Regulatory Frameworks
Cotting House, Harvard Business School
The Harvard-MIT Center for Regulatory Science is holding a student symposium on February 4, 2019. The goal of this event is to provide students with a chance to present their research in a friendly, supportive environment and to receive feedback from faculty and colleagues who are also interested in regulatory science-related questions. We encourage students to join us from diverse fields including economics, bioethics, healthcare policy, public policy, drug/device regulatory policy, pharmaceutical R&D, patent law, biomedical research, and more. Although this is a student-focused event, we are open to considering post-docs, fellows, and other trainees who fill out the application form, pending availability of additional presentation slots. If you are not interested in presenting but would like to attend the event, please mark your calendar and join us on February 4!
Cannon Room l Harvard Medical School
Please join us for the Innovators in Therapeutics student speaker series organized by the Harvard-MIT Center for Regulatory Science and the Harvard Program in Therapeutic Science. The first installment of this series will feature John Maraganore, the CEO of Alnylam, and Sara Nochur, Alnylam’s Senior Vice President for Regulatory Affairs. Dr. Maraganore and Dr. Nochur will describe Alnylam’s path through development and FDA approval of the first RNAi therapeutic, ONPATTROTM (patisiran), for the treatment of polyneuropathy of hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis. Dr. Maraganore and Dr. Nochur will focus on the regulatory science aspects of gaining approval for this innovative therapeutic.

The Anticancer Drug Development Workshop is an advanced clinical development workshop discussing the specific strategies leading to successful development pathways for new anticancer agents. The program will feature faculty speakers from FDA, the Harvard-MIT Center for Regulatory Science and Duke University, representing the full spectrum of anticancer drug development processes and regulatory science activities. The workshop is targeted towards early-career drug development investigators and fellows, but anyone with limited knowledge of regulatory science will benefit.
