2014 Global Summit on Regulatory Science

On August 21-22, 2014, the 2014 Global Summit on Regulatory Science (GSRS14) with the theme of “Regulatory Genomics and Beyond” was hosted by the Food and Drug Administration and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency in Montreal, Canada. The summit included speaker sessions to explore the applications and regulatory aspects of genomics. The international conference provided an opportunity for scientists from government, industry, and academia from 15 countries to discuss innovative technologies and partnerships to enhance translation of basic science into regulatory applications within the global context. Prior to the summit, the Executive Committee of the Global Coalition for Regulatory Science Research (GCRSR) representing many government regulatory agencies from 9 different countries or regions were briefed on progress from the Bioinformatics, Exposome, Nanotoxicology, and Emerging Technologies Working Groups; and discussed future GCRSR goals for training and collaborative research, and options for the GSRS15.
