Selling points

In regulatory affairs, as a regulatory expert, we participate in pharmaceutical project teams to provide advice and support to the team. Through this work, we can learn about regulatory changes and the evolution of the development environment related to drug development, thereby enhancing my expertise.

The essence and appeal of regulatory affairs work lies in engaging in constructive discussions with health authorities regarding drug development plans formulated by project teams, bringing these plans to fruition, and delivering medicines to patients as quickly as possible.
