A good relationship with industry and FDA has always been my
highest priority. Most issues between industry and FDA can
be resolved by having a good understanding of each others
position. Personal visits to FDA's centers in Rockville,
panel discussions at public conferences, joint industry/FDA
workshops and having FDA and industry guest speakers in the
Labcompliance audio seminars helped a lot to get a real good
understanding on both positions, and to get an insight on
what's coming.
This website shows examples of interactions with the FDA.
