A study by Shi Junnan and Chen Xianwen, doctoral students in the Institute of Chinese Medical Sciences (ICMS) at the University of Macau (UM), was accepted by the Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society (RAPS). They were invited to present their research at the RAPS Convergence 2024 in the US. The study contributes to the enhancement of modern drug regulatory systems.

This year’s RAPS Convergence received research papers from around the world. After rigorous review by experts and scholars, four studies were selected for the Student Capstone Poster Display, including ‘Benchmarking drug regulatory systems for capacity building in registration and marketing authorization’ by Shi and Chen. They carried out a systematic analysis of regulatory capacity in drug registration and marketing authorisation through benchmarking and made suggestions on regulatory capacity building, with the aim of enhancing modern drug regulatory systems. The study was supervised by Ung Oi Lam, assistant professor in ICMS and deputy director of the Centre for Pharmaceutical Regulatory Sciences, UM; and Hu Hao, professor in ICMS. In addition, Shi served as a student ambassador for the RAPS Convergence and assisted in event coordination and management.
