Ensure the safety, purity, potency, and effectiveness of biological products including vaccines, allergenics, blood and blood products, and cells, tissues, and gene therapies for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of human diseases, conditions, or injury.
Protect and improve public and individual health in the United States and, where feasible, globally; facilitate the development, approval of, and access to safe and effective biological products and promising new technologies; and strengthen CBER as a preeminent regulatory organization for biological products.

CBER Overview

The Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) regulates biological products, including blood and blood products, blood derivatives, vaccines, allergenics, gene therapies, cellular therapies, and xenotransplantation, certain drug products, HIV test kits, medical devices involving blood and human cells and tissue products.

CBER is comprised of the Office of the Director and seven program offices. Three of the program offices are responsible for regulatory oversight of biological products—vaccines and allergenics; blood and blood products; and tissues and advanced therapies. The four remaining offices provide cross-cutting support in the areas of compliance; surveillance, epidemiology and biostatistics; communication, outreach and development; and management, budget and administrative services. The Office of the Director provides leadership and policy direction to the program offices and coordinates Center activities and resource management.
