Marcel Florin Musteata

Marcel thought his career path was set after receiving his PharmD degree and beginning a pharmacy residency program in a major hospital. Little did he know that he would become intensely preoccupied by therapeutic drug monitoring. Collecting large vials of blood from fragile patients for single drug concentration measurements seemed particularly inefficient. Consequently, he decided to study microsampling and microextraction and got a PhD in analytical chemistry. Most notably, he has developed nanoporous microextraction coatings for in-vivo sampling and a mathematical model for individualizing drug therapy based on body composition.
