Maria Friciello

As program director of the UCSF-Stanford Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation (UCSF-Stanford CERSI), I direct and oversee the operations of the Center including financial and administrative infrastructure, strategic planning, development of business processes, partnership engagement, outreach, and communications. I ensure the attainment of goals and priorities set by the UCSF-Stanford CERSI and the FDA, and I provide strategic advice on the joint undertaking between academia and government, in partnership with foundations, the pharmaceutical, biotech, and high-tech industries whose interest is in the development of FDA-approved medical products.
