Summary:  
A rapid and ever-increasing trend exists in the globalization of drug research and development applying both scientific innovation and modern technologies.  The regulatory authorities for medicinal products around the world need to have enabling programs, effective initiatives, mission-focused operations, and visionary leadership to embrace those changes and related challenges.  

Our discussion will focus on the programs, initiatives, and leadership within the Office of Translational Sciences of FDA/CDER to fulfill the critical mission protecting and promoting the public health through regulation, enforcement, and education.
