Anders Lindquist received his Masters of Science in Clinical Research Administration in 2008 from Eastern Michigan University after completing a certificate program in Clinical Research Administration. During this time he continued to work as an orthodontic assistant and Research Assistant on the Michigan Growth Study in Ann Arbor Michigan.
In 2007, he started working at The University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center as Data Manager. This sparked his passion for Oncology clinical trial research and especially for research on life threatening medical conditions. In 2008 he and his wife moved to Dublin, Ohio where they started their family. They have three children, daughter Elin age 10, and son Henry age eight, and Nilsa age three are his drive to help improve clinical research for future generations. Anders believes that the challenges we face today with our current drug therapies should not be left for future generations to fix.
As a Senior Clinical Research Coordinator at Ohio State University he was selected to facilitate subsite clinical trials at multiple large institutions. From this experience he enjoyed Electronic data capture this became his passion as a research consultant before working at a major CRO as a Feasibility Analyst. As a subject mater expert in feasibility, he provided executive therapeutic experts with data and supporting text for site identification and forecasting the probability of success for meeting enrollment goals. Anders experiences give him a unique research coordinator prospective on running successful clinical trials.
Learning more is life long passsion for Anders. While participating in the ACRP conference in Salt Lake City, and from other conversations with research stakeholders it was the right time to start something new. In 2015 he founded ZTrials® a Site Service Organization, and currently serves as CEO and Principle Consultant. ZTrials® helps clinical research sites create customized solutions for identifying new studies, contract support, training and education, and centralized research administration services. His centralized approach provides more efficient and effective trial management solutions. This is achieved by leveraging shared resources among clinical research site network members.
Life outside of work is all about family. We enjoy family outings including hiking, running, and swimming. This past year Anders ran and walked alongside his wife during her ultra marathon virtual race this summer The Great Virtual Race Across Tennessee 1000K. The family enjoyed time at Lake Leelanau, Michigan and camping in Copper Harbor. 2021 will bring new adventures, ultra marathons, and more new projects.
