Overview


The research unit of the UCSF-Stanford CERSI stimulates innovative and collaborative research in regulatory science among FDA scientists, academic scientists, and scientists in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. Particular attention is paid to research involving computational methods to integrate vast and multiple data sets in the evaluation of therapies that will lead to better quality and safer medical products for the health of the public.

Funding for collaborative science

The UCSF-Stanford CERSI will fund collaborative research projects that focus on “unmet needs” in regulatory science. A broad net will be cast to define the most critical problems in regulatory science that can be solved through collaborative research efforts; the center will fund research that addresses the most critical problems. Complementing the research program funded by the FDA is an Innovation in Regulatory Sciences Award from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund. This award is focused on using systems pharmacology approaches to identify the targets and mechanisms for drug-induced obesity, a major adverse event for many drugs including many neuropsychiatric agents.

Research environment of UCSF and Stanford

The center’s collaborative research unit engages top-tier researchers at UCSF and Stanford University to apply modern methods to problems in regulatory science. Collaborations among Stanford University and UCSF scientists and the FDA are already under way for using new informatics methods for data fusion to construct safety profiles of drugs and for developing quantitative models to predict drug levels in the central nervous system.

Historically, UCSF has been the premier institution in quantitative pharmacology as it relates to drug discovery and development. UCSF pioneered pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics and computational drug discovery, which are used commonly in regulatory science. UCSF has continued to lead the pharmacological sciences with internationally renowned faculty members in pharmacogenomics, chemoinformatics, disease modeling, imaging and high throughput methodologies, and by forging strong research programs relevant to the discovery and development of therapeutics. The California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences-UCSF (QB3-UCSF) provides a home and resources for the recruitment of exceptional new faculty with quantitative skills.

Stanford University features a world-class Stanford Center for Biomedical Informatics Research, which recently pioneered the use of internet query logs, population health databases (e.g., FDA AERS Database), and electronic medical records from hospitals to identify adverse drug events and drug interactions.

We especially encourage UCSF investigators working with clinical trials to utilize the UCSF Research Action Group for Equity (RAGE) program, which provides support and infrastructure for UCSF researchers to diversify their study populations. RAGE provides consultations on how to partner directly with special populations to remove barriers and increase research participation, and can also help with recruitment support.
