FDA Announces A Meeting on Stem Cell Research in 2008
According to the Eye on FDA blog, FDA has announced an upcoming meeting on stem cells. This excerpt was recently published in the federal register...
"On April 10, 2008, the committee will mee
t to discuss scientific considerations for safety testing for cellular therapy products derived from human embryonic stem cells. , the committee will meet to discuss updates on the following topics: (1) Research management related to the September 29, 2005, review of research programs of the Office of Cellular, Tissue and Gene Therapies, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research; (2) 's Somatic Cell Therapy Letter; and (3) recently released FDA guidance documents."
I am not sure what they will talk about given the Bush administration’s intransigence on embryonic stem cell research. Don’t you just love it when Federal agencies waste your tax dollars to hold meetings when there is nothing to talk about? Go figure……
Until next time….
Good Luck and Good Job Hunting!!!!!!!!!!
