FDA and the University of Maryland Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation are sponsoring a two-day virtual public workshop on “Fetal Pharmacology and Therapeutics” on 10/21-10/22\. An [announcement](https://www.fda.gov/drugs/news-events-human-drugs/fetal-pharmacology-and-therapeutics-october-21-22-2021-10212021-10222021?utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fsource=govdelivery) says the workshop will discuss the current state of fetal pharmacology and therapeutics and how it pertains to pediatric drug development.

The announcement lists these workshop objectives:
