Another fantastic encounter at the congress dinner in Rotterdam was with Dr. Jan Strojil from the Department of Pharmacology of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Palacký University in Olomouc, Czech Republic. It’s been a pleasure to read about Jan’s passion for teaching, and balancing the demands of academic and clinical life with being a dad. Jan is currently on a fellowship visit with IATDMCT colleagues at the Laboratory of Applied Pharmacokinetics at the University of Southern California.

This month’s interview comes from Milan, Italy, from long-term member, colleague and friend Dr. Dario Cattaneo (who wins my vote for best dancer at the wonderful congress dinner at the St Laurence Cathedral in Rotterdam).  Dario shares his experiences in the worlds of TDM for immunosuppressant and anti-infective drugs, and how recently these worlds have started to intertwine.
