Manufacturers Assistance and Technical Training
Branch (MATTB)
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.
