microsamplify: Recent Episodes
Neoteryx
Welcome to the Miscrosamplify Podcast, a partner to The Microsampling Blog from Neoteryx. Listen in while we hear from key thought leaders in research science and medicine testify to the powers of microsampling in their industry.
This is Part 2 of our interview with Dr. Ben Herbert, a researcher specializing in protein chemistry, sample preparation, proteomics and cytokines.
We interviewed Dr. Ben Herbert, a researcher specializing in protein chemistry, sample preparation, fractionation, proteomics and cytokines. (Part 1)
Dr. Jenny Royle, a specialist in clinical trial design & engagement, discusses how offering participants remote microsampling supports clinical trials.
Dr. Kaitlyn Sadtler, NIBIB, NIH explains how remote microsampling helped researchers conduct a large serology study of COVID-19 during a global pandemic.
In this podcast, Drs. Stove and Van Uytfanghe discuss their successful use of remote blood collection and microsampling to identify biomarkers of alcohol and drug abuse. Researchers in the University of Ghent's Laboratory of Toxicology, they recently published several study papers describing their investigations of the direct alcohol biomarker PEth.
For this episode of the Microsamplify Podcast we spoke with Jennifer Van Eyk, PhD, a Professor of Medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, who directs the Advanced Clinical Biosystems Research Institute, the Precision Biomarker Laboratory, and Basic Research Science in the Barbra Streisand Women's Heart Center. She also co-directs Cedars-Sinai Precision Health. Dr. Van Eyk’s research is focused on high throughput quantitative proteomics and disease-induced biomarker studies. The Van Eyk Laboratory at Cedars-Sinai is interested in the molecular basis behind a range of cardiovascular disorders.
For this episode of the Microsamplify Podcast from Neoteryx, we spoke with Dr. Florian Lemaitre, an Assistant Professor in Pharmacology at the Rennes University Hospital’s School of Medicine in France. In the Pharmacology Department, Dr. Lemaitre is responsible for therapeutic drug monitoring, or as we say "TDM," of patients taking immunosuppressive and antiretroviral drugs. Dr. Lemaitre also conducts research and has written papers on long-term monitoring of transplant patients taking tacrolimus and other medications. Currently, he is using the Mitra® microsampling device to remotely monitor intracellular tacrolimus concentrations and pharmacodynamic biomarkers in liver transplant patients, among others.
This podcast features a discussion with Caroline Priese at the online health & wellness company, for you eHealth, which offers home health kits for consumers to test their immunity & wellness. Consumers in Germany and Austria can order health kits online, which enable them to collect their own specimen samples at home for mailing directly to a lab. Results are provided securely online, along with health & nutrition recommendations.
Dr. Michele Protti discusses microsampling methods for studying CNS disorders and neurodegenerative diseases; testing biomarkers, drugs and metabolites.
Mike Wright, Scientific Director, Drug Development Solutions at LGC, discusses a COVID-19 assay that is compatible with the Mitra® microsampling device.
For this episode of the Microsamplify Podcast from Neoteryx, we spoke with Remco Koster, PhD, Associate Director of Bioanalytical Science in the mass spectrometry Science Department at PRA Health Sciences. PRA is a contract research organization (CRO) that has participated in thousands of clinical trials around the globe, including trials that have led to the regulatory approval of more than 95 drugs. Dr. Koster discussed how microsampling is used in two bioanalytical labs at PRA — one lab in the Netherlands, and the other in the USA.
In this podcast, Dr. James Rudge and Dr. Neil Spooner discuss how advanced microsampling technologies have made blood collection more patient-centric. They describe how Mitra® with volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS®) has advantages in different industries and scenarios: in the lab for improved SARS-CoV-2 raised antibody testing, in healthcare for doctors and patients who prefer telehealth options to avoid viral exposure, and in clinical trials for participants who prefer to submit their blood samples remotely.
This episode of the Microsamplify Podcast features Mohit Jain, MD, PhD, from UC San Diego, who uses microsampling in his lab to study “The Non-genetic Landscape of Disease,” and more recently, to increase our understanding of COVID-19.
This episode of the Microsamplify Podcast features Jon Jin Kim, MD, who uses at-home blood collection to monitor young kidney transplant patients in the UK. Dr. Kim discusses how the CountOnMe program provides remote kits to families, keeping vulnerable kids safe at home.
In the evolving CRO industry, Clinical Trial Consultants (CTC) in Sweden launched virtual clinical trials. CTC coordinated at-home blood microsampling options and e-solutions for remote monitoring to trial recruits. These remote solutions expand the pool of trial participants.
