- Tobacco Regulatory Science Distinguished Speaker Series: Nicotine and Tobacco Regulatory Policy - A Look Back and a Look Forward
- DATE + TIME: Thu Sep 29, 2022 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM
- SPEAKERS: Mitch Zeller, JD (Former Director, Center for Tobacco Products, FDA)
- DESCRIPTION: Mr. Zeller will take an in-depth look at the historically unregulated marketplace for tobacco products and the public health consequences of the lack of regulation. He will then explore the critical role that FDA plays conducting premarket product reviews to determine whether new tobacco products are “appropriate for the protection of public health” and should be authorized for sale. He will close with a look forward, sharing observations and posing a series of questions related to the ongoing harm reduction debate surrounding e-cigarettes.

- CAsToR Webinar: Building a COPD Natural History Simulation Model for Tobacco Regulation Evaluation: From Statistics to Simulation
- DATE + TIME: Tue Jun 13, 2023 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
- DESCRIPTION:
CAsToR junior investigator Dr. Sanchez Romero will talk through the development of a population simulation model for tobacco control, using an example of her work on developing a COPD Natural History Model.
