Autor Addresses Alliance Membership

On Wednesday, February 8, Deborah Autor, FDA Deputy Commissioner for Global Regulatory Operations and Policy Alliance, provided remarks to the Alliance membership at the organization’s quarterly membership meeting.

Deputy Commissioner Autor’s presentation focused on how globalization is dramatically increasing FDA’s responsibilities and how the agency requires long-term investment and increased resources to meet its growing workload.In July 2011, the FDA released a special report on the subject, "Pathway to Global Product Safety and Quality," which outlined the agency’s strategy for dealing with the growing list of complex international public health challenges.A copy of Deputy Commissioner Autor’s slide presentation from the membership meeting can also be downloaded from this web site.
