Motivation:

I am motivated to contribute to reshaping the way clinical trials are conducted, which can benefit patients. During this PhD project, we aim to provide insight in the regulatory aspects of remote decentralized clinical trials (RDCTs), by evaluating regulatory barriers and facilitators to RDCTs in the European Union. RDCTs hold the promise of (amongst others) increasing recruitment and retention rates and improving patient experience.
