About us

ICRC-Wey­er was found­ed in 1993 and has con­tin­u­ous­ly increased their ser­vice, grow­ing from a spe­cial­ist con­sul­tan­cy for bio­sta­tis­tics, med­ical writ­ing and psy­cho­met­rics into an inte­grat­ed all-phase CRO with spe­cial focus but not lim­it­ed to clin­i­cal and med­ical device stud­ies to serve our clients in the most effec­tive way.

Along­side the fam­i­ly-based well-run man­age­ment there is a team of mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­nary spe­cial­ists, who are expe­ri­enced in a wide range of study phas­es and indi­ca­tions. Our team con­sists of biol­o­gists, biotech­nol­o­gists, clin­i­cal research pro­fes­sion­als, math­e­mati­cians, psy­chol­o­gists and bio­sta­tis­ti­cians among oth­ers. Our employ­ees are the most impor­tant resource and there­fore our dri­ving force. They have a close rela­tion­ship to the com­pa­ny, its goals and the ICRC-Wey­er management.

From 2012 to 2014 he was Exam­in­er for the val­i­da­tion pro­ce­dure of the Clin­i­cal Research degree pro­gramme (BSc) at the PAREXEL Acad­e­my in Berlin.
