Meet Our Owner

“It is rewarding to see patients receive the benefits of a new medication before it is available to the public. It is equally as exciting to see the medications we have tested be approved and offered to the public.”
After over a decade of clinical trial experience, Ellen, along with a local doctor, opened QRI in 1996 and became sole owner in 2014. She has a degree in practical/vocational nursing from Southeast Community College in Lincoln, Nebraska. She received her designation as a Certified Clinical Research Coordinator in 1997 through the Association of Clinical Research Professionals (ACRP), where she continues to be an active member.
