About VRN- Vascular Research Network

The Vascular Research Network is an organization of which the main task is the mediation between researchers, sponsors, contract research organizations (CROs) and academic research organizations (AROs) during clinical research. VRN aims at clinical phase I, II, III and IV trials in the vast field of cardiovascular disease, dyslipidemia, diabetes, hypertension and obesity.

The main goal of VRN is the central coordination and contracting of clinical research and mediating between sponsors and (independent) research centers to support both the sponsor as well as the clinical center, take research to a higher level, intensify recruitment and shorten the start-up timelines.

VRN facilitates the initiation and coordination of multicenter research thanks to their contacts with both the pharmaceutical industry as well as a selected number of research centers. In this way, rapid initiation, high-quality research and fast recruitment of large numbers of participating patients can be assured.

VRN is led by Professor John J.P. Kastelein, Professor of Internal Medicine at the Academic Medical Center of the University of Amsterdam. Professor Kastelein has laid the foundations of the Dutch FH screening program and has deep experience in bridging science, clinic and industry. The large, global network of clinicians enables VRN to facilitate the recruitment of participants with rare as well as common lipid disorders.
