Dr. Andreas Beust is Chief Executive Officer of the Contract Research Organization (CRO) GCP-Service
International Ltd. & Co. KG (GCP-Service), which performs national and international clinical trials for
medicinal products, medical devices and in-vitro diagnostics. In addition, Andreas is President of the
Association of International CROs (AICROS), which is a unique network of small and mid-sized CROs that
allow global coverage with local knowledge and a more familial atmosphere and higher flexibility.
Andreas is intimately familiar with requirements of clinical trials on European and international level and
has participated in more than 100 trials to date, including five led as trial Sponsor. He gained experience
in statistical consulting and trial optimization as Biostatistician. After switching to the role of CEO for
GCP-Service International and President of AICROS, his focus shifted to early study consultation from a
logistical, regulatory and quality risk management point of view. Connecting small and medium-sized
BioTech and Medical Device companies with passionate people and tailored solutions around the globe
is the calling he pursues just as much as optimizing trial designs – all in an effort to make clinical trials
accessible.
