On Monday, April 16, Rebecca Perkins, BioNJ Vice President, Government Affairs, participated in a Healthcare Roundtable hosted by Cong. Josh Gottheimer (D-5) at Hackensack University Medical Center in Hackensack, NJ.
Commissioner Gottlieb's presentation was closed to the press and the public, but he focused primarily on how the FDA will adapt to new medicines and therapies, including targeted medicines, gene therapy, and cell-based therapies. He also discussed challenges around electronic labeling, chemical and biological threats, health hazards and regulatory challenges of vaping and the opioid crisis.
Cong. Gottheimer continued the discussion after Commissioner Gottlieb left with healthcare representatives from hospitals, physicians and the biopharmaceutical industry.
