The Manufacturers Assistance and Technical Training Branch
(MATTB) informs industry and trade associations of the
status of CBER policies and initiatives through regular
information dissemination and training. MATTB also serves
as the CBER focal point for industry and trade associations
to provide meeting support, and coordinates external meetings
with other FDA Centers.
