Yale hosts delegation from China’s
Food and Drug Administration

A delegation from the China State Food and Drug Administration (sFDA) participated in a Yale training program on food and drug regulatory matters April 14-22.

Robert Makuch, professor of epidemiology and public health (biostatistics), led the effort to create the training program after discussions last fall with Shuhui Qu, deputy commissioner of the sFDA. The delegation members, who are being trained as future leaders of the sFDA, included directors and associate directors of province sFDA offices and senior members from the central Beijing sFDA.

The training program took place in Yale’s Laboratory of Epidemiology and Public Health, and featured a keynote address by Peter Barton Hutt, a senior counsel from Covington and Burling in Washington, D.C., and past general counsel of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Hutt, also a founding member of the Institute of Medicine, is a specialist on food and drug law and the author of “Food and Drug Law: Cases and Materials,” a standard reference on the subject.

Other speakers during the program included current and past senior officials of the FDA, academicians and industry leaders. A formal delegation dinner was attended by Paul Cleary, Yale’s dean of public health, and Qu.

“It is anticipated that this training program will be repeated in future years to provide guidance in the creation and implementation of future directions and initiatives of the sFDA,” says Makuch.
