Harvard-MIT Center for Regulatory Science

The Harvard-MIT Center for Regulatory Science was established in 2018 to advance research and education in regulatory science. The Center serves the broad community of biomedical research scientists and physicians in academia, industry, and regulatory agencies who seek to improve the development and evaluation of medical products. The primary principle underpinning these activities is that scientific discoveries will most benefit patients if accompanied by an efficient, rigorous, and adaptable approach to evaluating the many rapidly emerging biotechnologies. The Center functions as a platform to foster interdisciplinary and multi-stakeholder discussions on scientific and infrastructure needs. The Center offers a Regulatory Science Fellowship, hosts local and international conferences, and manages a portfolio of research collaborations with regulatory agencies, industry, and other academic institutions.
