Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research
« Back to Glossary IndexThe Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) is the Center within the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that regulates certain categories of biologics for human use. Biologics regulated by CBER include: cellular products, gene therapy, vaccines, allergenic extracts, antitoxins, antivenins, venoms, blood, blood components, and plasma derived products. Although most biologics are regulated by the CBER, monoclonal antibodies, therapeutic proteins, and immunomodulators fall under the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research’s (CDER’s) regulatory oversight.
