This was a joint workshop of the Chinese National Center for Safety Evaluation of Drugs, NICPBP and the ILSI Health and Environmental Sciences Institute.
From September 26-29, 2010, HESI staff members Mike Holsapple (Executive Director) and Syril Pettit (Associate Director) accompanied by HESI President Marc Bonnefoi (sanofi-aventis) participated in jointly-organized scientific meetings with representatives from the Chinese State FDA’s National Institute for Control of Pharmaceutical and Biological Products (NIPCBP) and China-based pharmaceutical scientists. The visit included a full day seminar on novel approaches in preclinical safety and informal meetings with NICPBP staff. Other meeting participants included Dr. William Slikker (Director of the FDA’s NCTR), Dr. Masa Honma (Japan National Institute of Health Sciences), Dr. Rick Paules (US NIEHS) and senior pharmaceutical company scientists including Dr. Jiri Aubrecht (Pfizer), Dusty Sarazan (DSI), and Ernie Harpur (sanofi-aventis).
