The FDA Perspective: CDx, Combination Products & Targeted Therapies
A Cville Biohub Special Industry Event
Keynote Speaker: Alberto Gutierrez, PhD, NDA Partners
Location: Vault Virginia, First Floor Vault Hall
Side entrance of the building (behind Prime 109)
The rise of personalized medicine has led to the development of therapies tied to specific biomarkers for increased clinical efficacy. Companion Diagnostics (CDx) are becoming increasingly important as more targeted therapies are developed. This multi-billion dollar industry is growing, and the FDA has implemented policies for CDx that will drive how these products are developed and marketed for years to come.
Alberto Gutierrez, PhD, served in several executive roles at the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) within the FDA. In that capacity, he oversaw the Personalized Medicine Staff at the FDA and developed and managed the policies surrounding companion diagnostic devices. Dr. Gutierrez, now a current Partner at the local regulatory consulting firm NDA Partners, will share deep insights about how the policies emerged and how they are changing the regulatory game.
