The site navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. Left and right arrows move across top level links and expand / close menus in sub levels. Up and Down arrows will open main level menus and toggle through sub tier links. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.
The regulatory function is vital in making safe and effective healthcare products available worldwide. Individuals who ensure regulatory compliance and prepare submissions, as well as those whose main job function is clinical affairs or quality assurance are all considered regulatory professionals.
One of our most valuable contributions to the profession is the Regulatory Code of Ethics. The Code of Ethics provides regulatory professionals with core values that hold them to the highest standards of professional conduct.

The US Food and Drug Administration’s Division of Cellular and Gene Therapies is opening up two contract fellowship positions: one to study the potential of human pluripotent stem cells for developing gene and cell therapies, and one to further investigate mechanisms that RNA viruses use to inhibit host immune cell function.
Candidates with research experience in virology, immunology, cell biology, molecular biology or gene therapy will receive the strongest consideration, FDA says. Candidates must be available to start before 1 October 2016 at new laboratories at the FDA White Oak campus in Silver Spring, MD.
The aim of the first position is to evaluate the potential of human pluripotent stem cells for developing gene and cell therapies. The candidate is expected to use cellular differentiation and genome editing technologies to generate immune cell types and evaluate their functionality in preclinical experimental models, according to the agency.
The second position will be for a fellow who aims to understand mechanisms that RNA viruses use to inhibit host immune cell function (T and NK cells). The candidate will characterize molecular mechanisms of inhibition and develop novel immunomodulatory therapeutics based on virus-derived inhibitors, using in vitro and in vivo models.
Applicants must be US citizens, permanent residents or current J-1 visa holders. Foreign applicants who do not currently have a visa will not be considered. PhD or MD applicants must have received their degree less than 5 years ago, FDA says.
