Early Stage Regulatory Guidance on the Pathway to an IND discussed at April 19 CBCAN
CBC Associate Director Nancy Tyrrell hosted the April 19 CBCAN event which was focused on ‘Early Stage Regulatory Guidance on the Pathway to an IND.’ The event was held at Prentice Women’s Hospital in downtown Chicago. The CBC Accelerator Network (CBCAN) program regularly brings together industry experts, university tech transfer officers, researchers and others from the local and extended biomedical ecosystem. The main goal of the CBCAN forum is to provide early commercial guidance to universities and university-based researchers in order to move promising discoveries into and forward in the pipeline towards commercialization. Hence, the regulatory aspects of Investigational New Drug application (IND) were chosen as a topic for the April 19 CBCAN meeting.
