Global Safety Board (GSB)

Global Safety Board (GSB)

MMV’s Global Safety Board (GSB) was instituted in 2009 and is mandated to conduct a review on projects that are progressing to testing for the first time in humans. The board continues to conduct a thorough scientific and ethical review at each major project milestone beyond the clinical phase 1 of the R&D process, through to registration and distribution.
