Sandrine Verstraete
With over 25 years of experience in clinical research—including more than 20 years as an independent consultant—I offer a comprehensive and strategic perspective on the operational, regulatory, and scientific dimensions of clinical trial execution. Since beginning my career in 1998, I have worked across a wide range of therapeutic areas, study phases, and trial types, including investigational medicinal products (IMPs), medical devices, and non-interventional studies (NIS).
I have held both global and regional roles, including responsibilities as a Clinical Trials Regulation (CTR) expert and Global SIP (Standard Investigational Processes) Adoption Lead, driving implementation strategies across international teams. On the regional level, I have served as a CRA, Lead CRA, and Project Manager, with direct involvement in site operations, feasibility, recruitment, auditing, CAPA resolution, and team leadership.
Since 2012, I have been delivering ICH GCP E6 training—initially based on R1 and subsequently revised versions R2 and R3—to both investigator site personnel and sponsor staff at affiliate level. I also provide CRA coaching to enhance performance, foster compliance, and support professional development.
As a trained psychologist, I am deeply engaged in understanding human behavior and cross-cultural dynamics—particularly how these impact collaboration and communication within global clinical teams. I am passionate about translating complex regulatory and operational topics into accessible, actionable insights. My focus remains on delivering value through pragmatic execution, continuous process optimization, and a collaborative mindset.
