Dr. Erik Buntinx

Together with my eldest daughter Linde, ANIMA Research was founded and continues to be led as CEO and Principal Investigator. With over 30 years of experience in clinical research, an international reputation has been built in the investigation of new medicines, with deep expertise in clinical scales, study protocols, and research methodology.

Under my leadership, ANIMA Research has grown into a leading clinical research center, collaborating with 9 of the 10 largest pharmaceutical companies in the world.

At ANIMA, a diverse portfolio of research projects is managed, ranging from sleep disorders to vaccines, with an unwavering focus on quality and patient-centred care. The driving ambition is to contribute to the development of innovative treatments and to push the boundaries of evidence-based medicine.

This work has led to co-authorship in publications in leading medical journals, including The Lancet and The New England Journal of Medicine.
