Peter
A. Patriarca, MD, joined Biologics Consulting Group, LLC, as

Dr.
Patriarca received a BS from the University of Notre Dame in 1973;
an MD from Tulane University School of Medicine in 1977; completed
an internship and residency in Pediatrics at the University of Colorado
in 1980; and subsequently completed Epidemic Intelligence Service

Dr. Patriarca was involved in epidemiologic research and public
health programs and policy at the CDC, focusing primarily on vaccine-preventable
diseases. From 1994-2001, he worked at the Center for Biologics
Evaluation and Research (CBER), FDA. As Director of the Division
of Viral Products, Office of Vaccines Research and Review (OVRR),
Dr. Patriarca was responsible for all laboratory-based research
programs as well as IND and BLA reviews and other regulatory activities.
From 2001-2005, Dr. Patriarca served as Corporate Head and Vice

and compliance responsibility for five licensed and 18 investigational
products, including vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, plasma derivatives
and small molecules. Dr. Patriarca is also an internationally renowned
expert in influenza and poliomyelitis.
Dr.
Patriarca has acquired diverse skills and competencies during his
25+ year professional career. While at CDC, he was an accomplished
field and clinical investigator, with ~100 peer-reviewed journal
publications, and was a major contributor to immunization programs
and policy promulgated through the Advisory Committee on Immunization
Practices (ACIP). While at CBER, he directed activities related
to the research, regulatory and public health aspects of licensed
and investigational viral vaccines and served as FDA liaison representative
to the American Academy of Pediatrics' Committee on Infectious Diseases
("Redbook Committee"). As Division Director, Dr. Patriarca
also ensured the quality and consistency of CMC and clinical reviews,
actively participated in sponsor meetings, and was intimately involved
with regulatory decisions and policy affecting the development and
approval of numerous investigational products. While at MedImmune,
Dr. Patriarca was responsible for regulatory strategy and compliance
oversight for all infectious disease-, immunology- and oncology-related
programs, and was a member of key strategic and commercial operations
committees. He created a Regulatory Operations Division with publishing
and electronic submissions capability, enhanced MedImmune's post-marketing
drug safety surveillance capability, established risk management
and regulatory intelligence functions, and served as regulatory
lead for all mergers, acquisitions, in-licensing, and other due
diligence activities. He maintained "hands on" skills
by taking primary responsibility for writing and coordinating key
submissions (e.g., MedImmune's first Investigational Medicinal Product
Dossier and Common Technical Document) and by participating in all
interactions with the FDA (e.g., sponsor and Advisory Committee
meetings, telecons, and for pharmacovigilance, BIMO, and GMP inspections).
