Brendan Larrabee
Founder
A task-oriented, results-driven engineer, Brendan thrives on working with people to develop and implement creative solutions to challenges. With his background as a Continuous Improvement Engineer, he brought a non-clinical view to evaluating the quality needs of research, leading him to develop software that addresses quality control more efficiently and cost-effectively. Brendan has a Masters in Engineering from RIT.
Patricia Larrabee, RNNP, CCRC
Consultant/Advisor
Pat founded Rochester Clinical Research in 1994 to provide residents of the Greater Rochester area with access to research studies. Since then, RCR has conducted more than 600 clinical trials involving more than 10,000 study volunteers. Building a successful clinical research practice made Pat exceptionally aware of the challenges facing such businesses, especially in patient recruitment and quality control. This led to the establishment of QRS, in order to share the innovative solutions developed for RCR with other similar practices.
