Microsampling: from promise to implementation?
This webinar aims at providing a 'status update' on microsampling, from its 'revival' some 15 years ago, to now.
Some 15 years ago, microsampling was 'rediscovered' as a technique with great potential for patient-centric sampling, allowing home-based patient follow-up and rendering large-scale epidemiological studies more feasible. However, despite many successful applications, the implementation in both industry and clinic have remained slow. This webinar aims at providing an insight into the potential of microsampling and what the hurdles are that (may) need to be overcome for a more widespread implementation.
Of interest to anyone involved in patient-centric sampling, epidemiological studies and (home-based) therapeutic drug monitoring.
Speaker:
Christophe Stove
Professor, Laboratory of Toxicology, Department of Bioanalysis, Ghent University
Christophe Stove is associate-professor at Ghent University, Belgium, where he heads the Laboratory of Toxicology at the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences. He teaches several courses, oversees the lab’s forensic toxicology service activities and steers the research, encompassing two research lines: microsampling applications and challenges in therapeutic drug monitoring and toxicology, and the pharmacological characterization and screening of new psychoactive substances. He was the promotor of over 20 PhDs and has published some 300 peer-reviewed publications, which collectively have been cited over 11000 times (Google Scholar). He is Board/Council Member of several national (BLT, KBGGG) and international (TIAFT and IATDMCT) associations.
