Why Clinical Research?
As 
medical research 
continues and technology enables
new 
breakthroughs
, there will be a day when Malaria and most
all major deadly 
diseases are eradicated 
on Earth.

Representative
Casandra Merkel
Senior Specialist, Membership Engagement
ACRP
Casandra’s work with the association
focuses on the chapters and the online
community, so if you’ve seen or heard her
name before, that may be why. She’s been
with ACRP since 2017 and has touched
almost every part of the organization while
there, which allows her to have at least
some cursory background in all aspects of it.
