Dr. Woodcock has served as the CDER Director since 2008 and has been instrumental in the formation of the CDER Office of Pharmaceutical Quality, led the Pharmaceutical Quality for the 21st Century Initiative, and has championed the role of risk management in pharmaceutical manufacturing and regulation. She will discuss how FDA currently views the application and future potential of risk-management approaches, explore if the full potential of quality risk management has been realized, and address the role of the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) quality guidelines on risk management (ICH Q9) and quality systems (ICH Q10).
Thomas Stanton teaches at the Johns Hopkins University and is the past president of the Association for Federal Enterprise Risk Management.

He will discuss the journey of introducing and establishing acceptance of ERM within the U.S. federal government.
PDA's Quality Week promises to be one today's most comprehensive programs addressing quality risk management (QRM).
