Top FDA Official Stephen P. Spielberg, MD, PhD, to
Deliver Plenary Address at 2012 ISPE Annual Meeting
(TAMPA, FLORIDA, USA, 12 September 2012) – ISPE announced today that the
FDA’s Deputy Commissioner for Medical Products and Tobacco, Stephen P. Spielberg, MD, PhD, will deliver a
plenary address at the 2012 ISPE Annual
Meeting, taking place 11-14 November in San Francisco, Calif. USA. Spielberg’s talk is titled “How the
FDA is Advancing Regulatory Science through High Quality Collaboration,” and will discuss how the FDA is
addressing challenges and taking advantage of opportunities to advance regulatory science through
collaborations with organizations like ISPE.
The plenary session will also feature an address by Murray Aitken, Executive Director, IMS Institute for
Healthcare Informatics. Aitken’s speech, titled “Top Priorities and Trends for the Pharmaceutical Industry,”
will deliver a global analysis of the industry supported by quantifiable data, as well as a forecast of top
priorities and trends through 2016, including content that will be exclusive to ISPE’s Annual Meeting.
The plenary session is part of a four-day conference program designed to give pharmaceutical professionals
a better understanding of the industry’s current technical and regulatory challenges and an opportunity to
engage in open dialog to solve those challenges. Two special sessions will be of particular interest for
those concerned with pharmaceutical quality, regulatory considerations or next steps for the industry:
- Executive Series: Distinguished industry leaders will participate in a strategic
discussion of key areas identified by technical leaders as critical to the future of the pharmaceutical
industry. Attendees will hear “Confessions of a Counterfeiter,” and other provocative discussion topics.
- International Regulatory Summit: High-level regulators from North America, Europe, Asia
and Latin America will discuss regional regulatory challenges and examine those challenges within the context
of a global regulatory environment.
