Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation (M-CERSI)

At the Heart of Biotech

The University of Maryland Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation is located within an hour’s drive from many of the nation’s top bioscience research forces—including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the University of Maryland School of Medicine.

On January 15, 2021 students from the University of Maryland, College Park and University of Maryland, Baltimore participated in the ninth annual M-CERSI regulatory science talent competition virtually, presenting their innovative ideas to a panel of three FDA judges.

"Collaborating to Advance Health Equity for Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease" brought together leaders in government, academia, and industry virtually on February 10, 2021.

M-CERSI and FDA jointly hosted the virtual workshop, "Assessing Changes in Pharmacokinetics of Drugs in Liver Disease."

Download presentations, audio, and video from past M-CERSI workshops, such as the Predictive Immunogenicity for Better Clinical Outcomes workshop, or the Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) workshop.
