During the seminar, Dr. Mrinal Kanti Musib discussed the graduate certificate programs on Medical Device Regulatory Affairs (MDRA) and Advanced Medical Device Regulations (AMDR) offered at NUS, which are intended to train both early and mid-career professionals. 

A senior lecturer at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at NUS, Singapore, Prof. Musib also serves as the program coordinator/resource person for the MDRA and AMDR programs. He also discussed the salient issues concerning why medical devices (implants) should be regulated and their FDA-risk-based classification.

The seminar also provided an interactive platform for Ph.D. students, postdoctoral fellows, and others to know about the importance of a robust and transparent approval process and why governments should allocate more resources to ensure the long-term safety and performance of such devices.
