Swissmedic obtains specialist advice on scientific issues from the Swissmedic Medicines Expert Committees (SMEC). These consist of the Human Medicines Expert Committee (HMEC) in the case of medicinal products for human use and the Veterinary Medicines Expert Committee (VMEC) where veterinary medicinal products are involved. The members of both committees are elected by the Agency Council of Swissmedic.
In September and November 2024, the Agency Council decided the members of the SMEC for the new period of office from 2025 to 2028. The Chairs of both ordinary committees were also elected:
Dr. med. vet. Barbara Knutti was re-elected as Chair of the VMEC.
Prof. Dr. med. Dr. phil. Andreas Wicki will become Chair of the HMEC.
Swissmedic would like to thank all experts elected for their commitment and is looking forward to further constructive collaboration.
