In this workshop, thought leaders from government agencies, academia, industry, and relevant consultancies gathered to discuss and identify efficient ways to integrate translational science and regulatory science toward developing better regulatory tools and facilitating effective regulatory processes to accelerate medical technology innovation. Three key areas were addressed: 1) showcasing Success Stories on Regulatory Science Collaborations that involved industry, academia, and FDA; 2) unpacking the lifecycle from the perspective of the stakeholder; and 3) heeding the needs of regulatory agency, industry/users for reducing regulatory friction
