You’ve heard all the analogies:  Is the glass half empty or half full?  Does the dark storm cloud have a silver lining?

Thoughts Shared at FDLI Risk Management Conference

FDA and the industry share thoughts at FDLI risk management conference

Earlier this month, while Washington was bustling with Inaugural preparations, there was an excellent meeting in the capital on pharmaceutical risk management, hosted by the Food and Drug Law Institute (FDLI) at the offices of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP.  The impetus of the meeting was to provide a forum for some of the authors of the recently published text, Pharmaceutical Risk Management: Practical Applications (FDLI, 2008) as well as other experts within the industry and within the FDA.  Industry veteran Wayne Pines, who edited the book along with me and my colleague at ParagonRx, Gary Slatko, chaired the conference.

I would like to share with you some of the more-intriguing thoughts to come out of the conference, as well as a few news tidbits – but first let me say that if you would like to obtain a complete transcript of the conference or to buy a copy of PRM: Practical Applications, please contact the FDLI website at www.fdli.org.
