Thermo Fisher VP Wants More IVD Firms Involved In FDA's Manufacturing Maturity Program (Even Though His Company Isn't)

By Shawn M. Schmitt

Peter Shearstone, VP of global quality assurance and regulatory affairs at in vitro diagnostic test-maker Thermo Fisher Scientific, is dismayed that only two IVD manufacturers are playing in the US FDA's Case for Quality Voluntary Improvement Program to measure manufacturing maturity and quality – and his firm isn't one of them. "Part of my challenge is moving my company toward proactivity, and if [CFQ VIP] can help do that, then I'd be hypocritical if I didn't embrace it," he says.
