Chung-Ang University's Department of Pharmaceutical Regulation has achieved a significant milestone by being selected as the leading institution for the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety's 'Global Regulatory Science Leader Cultivation Project.' This selection, as reported by Hankyoreh, solidifies the university's position as a key hub for nurturing talent in the critical field of pharmaceutical regulation, building upon its previous success in a similar national program.

The project's objective is ambitious: to cultivate specialized professionals adept at navigating the complex regulatory landscape of cutting-edge medicines. This includes a focus on Non-biological Complex Drugs (NBCDs) and Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs), areas where precise regulatory evaluation is paramount for ensuring quality, safety, and efficacy. The university's commitment is underscored by securing substantial government funding and a significant partnership with Daewoong Pharmaceutical, a leading domestic pharmaceutical company.

This project selection is an important opportunity for Chung-Ang University to establish itself as a core hub for talent cultivation and research in the field of pharmaceutical regulatory science.
