This is just a screenshot of the CBER (Biologics) topic page,

taken in December, 2008.

U.S. Food & Drug Administration Search Usability test subjects worked with this version of the Biologics topic
FDA Homepage Food Drugs Medical Devices Biologics Animal & Veterinary Cosmetics Radiation-Emitting Products Combination Products page.

I created the page in Visio by taking some information from the original
Biologics Biologics topic page and mapping it to the new page design. Other
information demanded by the new design was created for it.
