VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:35 Dec 04, 2023 Jkt 262001 CBER’s mission is to protect and enhance public health through the regulation of biological and related products including blood, vaccines, allergenics, tissues, and cellular and gene therapies. With substantial growth in innovative, novel products, as well as a need to address an ever-changing landscape of potential public health threats, CBER is currently facing scientific, medical, and regulatory challenges that require changes to its structure. In OBRR, the establishment of a Laboratory of Pathogen Reduction will address Center-level initiatives focusing on the optimization of new pathogen inactivation technologies. These technologies can dramatically help the American public and potentially reduce or eliminate donor deferral and/or testing requirements. Additionally, the proposed structural changes, keeping OBRR’s functioning state of two divisions instead of three, will maintain operational consistency and enable the divisions to build on processes and efficiencies gained in the last 2 years. In OVRR, the Division of Vaccines and Related Product Applications will split into the Division of Review Management and Regulatory Review and the Division of Clinical and Toxicology Review to allow for improved operational efficiency, appropriate supervisory ratios, and a better balance of workload within an area of increased demand.
