Master of Science in Bioscience Regulatory Affairs

Increasingly, biotechnology companies are developing or manufacturing bioscience products and offering bioscience services that are highly regulated. Over eighty therapeutic products that require regulatory oversight are currently in Maryland's development pipeline. Companies that develop diagnostics and provide reagents and supplies to the industry must provide stringent quality control to ensure FDA good manufacturing practices are followed. In this market of expanding drug development and the need to comply with federal and state regulations, companies report great difficulty in finding trained professionals educated in bioscience regulatory affairs to fill their positions. To meet this need, The Johns Hopkins University created the new Master of Science in Bioscience Regulatory Affairs, using the expertise of professionals from the federal government, industry, and academia.
