A life-changing medical device. A time-saving, on-the-go meal. A revolutionary remedy.

We live in a day of innovation—but a lot happens between idea and execution. Regulations exist at nearly every stage in R&D, from clinical trials to marketing. With advancing technology, developing consumer standards, and evolving legislation and policies, leaders with expertise in regulatory affairs have perhaps never been more important to a company or organization’s success.

Whether your goal is to help companies bring compliant products to market or to ensure consumer safety through work with a government agency, you will find plenty of opportunities in the field of regulatory science.

A Closer Look: What is Regulatory Science?

The FDA defines regulatory science as “the science of developing new tools, standards, and approaches to assess the safety, efficacy, quality, and performance of all FDA-regulated products.” Just a few examples:

• Medical devices
• Pharmaceuticals
• Veterinary products
• Diagnostics
• Cosmetics
• Food/beverage products
• Nutritionals/vitamins

Other regulatory agencies include the USDA (meats, poultry, and produce), the Environmental Protection Agency (water, pesticides), the Federal Trade Commission (advertising practices), and the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

When you consider the vast number of products regulated by the government, it’s clear why regulatory science professionals are in higher demand around the globe.
