Avicenna Alliance at IMDRF 2024 in Seattle, WA
08/10/2024
This year's International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF) is organized by the US FDA. The fall session took place in Seattle.
As an observer to IMDRF, the Avicenna Alliance was invited to attend the open sessions and network with Regulatory Authorities, the WHO, Trade Organizations, and industry representatives from around the world. The Avicenna Alliance was represented by Mark Palmer (Ansys), who leads the IMDRF initiative for the Alliance.
Mark reconnected with many active and affiliates members to discuss the growing importance of in silico methods as a promising means of achieving global harmonization. The results of these discussions have been positively received by many members, reinforcing our belief that more formal steps could be taken in 2025.
PMDA, Japan, will host the IMDRF meetings in 2025.
