“Giving control back to the patient is going the change everything.” – Matthew Barfield, Roche
Matt Barfield discusses his passions that drive him everyday – in life and research. He looks to help his family, and everyone’s families, while advancing patient centric medicine, alleviating suffering and pain. Matt also wants to help deliver faster results for drug discovery – where sometimes the drug does not pass phase III. He understands clinical trials and looks to break through the mistrust of families, changing the paradigm of how we sample. Smaller samples are less uncomfortable and less painful, especially for children with diseases like Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy. Instead of hiding behind barriers that don’t exist, why not use micro sampling now?

“(CPSA conversations) redefined my goals” – Ganesh Moorthy, The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
Ganesh delivers a passionate CPSA Everyday, discussing how the collaborative spirit in clinical research can significantly contribute to fields such as therapeutic drug monitoring in sick children. He brings a broad background, working in pediatric clinical research the last 11 years, understanding that microsampling technology is a path to improving patient care. A convert, he can see that microsampling can make a big change to a child’s quality of care – even moving into remote sampling to help families reduce the burden of travel to hospitals or clinics. Ganesh works though the dream of using microsampling technology to create meaningful data for drug monitoring in sick children – and quality data for clinicians to make accurate decisions.
