EMA’s CHMP Names New Chairman

The EMA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) elected Harald Enzmann as its new chair.

CHMP’s vice chair since 2016, Enzmann is head of European and international affairs for Germany’s Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices. He will serve a three-year term starting in October.

“With science evolving at such a fast pace, our challenge will be to achieve a balance between being agile to find solutions to emerging scientific or regulatory issues and being consistent with previous decisions,” Enzmann said.
