Legal and policy challenges to pharmaceutical regulation

Work-in-progress seminar

This seminar addresses pressing challenges facing pharmaceutical regulation. First, the growing acknowledgement of patient-centered pharmaceutical care raises questions for many regulators about how to safeguard the independence of regulators, and the rigor and representativeness of clinical and other data they use in the process. This seminar examines questions about regulatory decision making that appropriately takes account of patients, their preferences, their (unmet) needs, and their (real world) data. Second, globalization and regionalization position the EU and its regulator, the European Medicines Agency, as influential actors in the governance of pharmaceutical safety and efficacy worldwide. This seminar focuses on ongoing research into the EU’s impact on pharmaceutical regulation in low- and middle-income countries.
