Maryland Bio Facts: 2013
Who starts Life Science Companies in Maryland?
• Many Founders are Scientists • Originating from NIH, Johns Hopkins, or
University of Maryland• Many have not had product development
experience in industry• Most have not taken products through the
FDA
Who recognizes this Scientist?
HIV Blood Screening Test
• 1984: AIDS• New deadly virus: HTLV-III• June 1984: First experiments• May 1985: FDA licensed products• Among the best developed by Industry• Industry, Academia, and Government unified
by National Crisis
What will make Maryland (and the US) more Competitive?
Getting more products to market faster!
How?
• The University can act as a neutral party between FDA and industry– Offering training– Standards
• Better Regulatory Science!– Innovative Clinical Trial Designs– New uses of Statistics– Comparative Effectiveness
Increase Awareness
• Need to “Begin with the end in mind”• Understanding of basic regulatory practices
– Role of reimbursement
• Early requirement for Quality Systems– First Design Control documents
• Knowledge of regulations outside the US– Markets are worldwide– Harmonization does not yet exist
FREE Access to Market Research Resources
BioMed Tracker • Frost & Sullivan • MedTrack • Recap • Synapse
Career Opportunities
• Maryland has the highest concentration of PhDs in the United States
• Regulatory Science is a career pathway• Relevant curricula combined with real world
experience vital• Certificate programs ideal for rapid training
