Junipr Research was founded in 2025 by Renske De Zwaef with a simple belief: clinical studies should genuinely serve the people they are created for.
After more than 20 years in clinical affairs across Pharma, MedTech, and Biotech, Renske saw how often promising innovations struggled to reach patients because studies weren’t designed around real needs — the daily realities of patients, their families, and the healthcare professionals who care for them. She also saw sponsors repeatedly struggle with enrollment because sites were not properly engaged or consulted during planning. Junipr was created to change that by combining strong scientific expertise with a practical, human approach to clinical strategy and operations.
Our name reflects the values we stand for.
Inspired by Juniper, a Cornish healer known for her sincerity, care, open-mindedness, no-nonsense wisdom, and skill as a natural problem-solver, the name embodies the spirit we bring to every project. We build our team with passionate, talented people who value scientific clarity, integrity, and respectful collaboration. Based in Belgium’s vibrant clinical research and biotech landscape, we design and deliver studies that are feasible, efficient, and meaningful — and that can be run faster and with higher quality because they fit clinical reality and engage the right sites from the start.
Today, we support sponsors across clinical operations, patient and HCP engagement, clinical strategy, and expert committee management.
We believe every interaction matters — with customers, sites, patients, and within our own team. Our goal is to help innovators move their programs forward with studies grounded in real experience, supported by strong evidence, and ultimately capable of making a difference in the lives of patients.
