Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT) service provides antimicrobial therapy by parenteral infusion without hospitalization. Vancomycin is a widely used antibiotic in OPAT, however a drawback of its application in OPAT is the need for traditional blood sampling at a blood sampling facility for therapeutic drug monitoring. By developing a dried blood spot sampling method (i.e. a finger prick), enabling patients to collect their own sample at home, the costs of OPAT may be further reduced and patient satisfaction may be increased.

Binnen de oncologie wordt gepersonaliseerde therapie steeds gebruikelijker, onder andere door therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). Dit onderzoek richt zich op gepersonaliseerde therapie met name binnen de urologische tumoren, bijvoorbeeld door een voedselinterventie studie of onderzoek van intrapatiëntvariatie in correlatie met therapiesucces.
