CPSA Everyday Conversation

Jinming Xing, Novartis

“Make sample collection reduce (the) burden of trial participants” – Jinming Xing, Novartis

During this Everyday, Jinming Xing describes his personal experiences that drive his passion for microsampling.  As a pharmacist, he was influenced by the understanding that some children are simply scared of needles – a 5 second shot could take an hours conversation.  He was also personally influenced by the amount of blood that was drawn from his own sick son.  Now, Jinming works closely with the early stages of clinical research related to sick children, focusing on microsampling.  He puts all of his efforts, Everyday, into reducing the burden for paediatric clinical trial participants.
