About This Event
The UCSF-Stanford Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation (UCSF-Stanford CERSI) is pleased to present the fifth annual Innovations in Regulatory Science Summit, a gathering of leaders in the academia, industry, and regulatory sectors to discuss the role of regulatory science in medical product development.
The 2024 CERSI Innovations in Regulatory Science Summit will take place over two days and have a major focus on emerging issues in regulatory science including medical misinformation and its impact on public health, manufacturing and supply chain with an emphasis on lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic, and yet another exciting panel featuring former FDA Commissioners on the latest issues facing the Agency. New this year will also be debates on contentious topics in regulatory science.
The goal of the summit is to stimulate discussion across sectors and to critically consider lessons learned and scientific issues that need addressing to expeditiously and safely advance the development, approval, and monitoring of medical products.
Panel Discussions:
- Medical Misinformation
- Manufacturing & Supply Chain
- FDA Chiefs Chat
Debates: TBA
Call for Posters: TBA
The 2024 Innovations in Regulatory Science Summit Planning Committee will invite abstract submissions to be presented at our in-person poster sessions in San Francisco, CA on Sunday, January 7, 2024 and Stanford, CA on Tuesday, January 9, 2024.

About UCSF-Stanford CERSI
The UCSF-Stanford Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation (CERSI) is a joint effort among members of a world-class team of highly collaborative scientists at the University of California San Francisco, Stanford University, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The two academic institutions and the FDA work together on projects that promote regulatory science—including innovative research, education, and scientific exchange—in partnership with foundations and commercial entities interested in the development of FDA-approved medical products. The center collaborates, in particular, with the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and high-tech industries of the San Francisco Bay Area and the West Coast.
