Ms. Marina Avram began her tenure at PinPoint Testing as an undergraduate training fellow. She then accepted a fulltime ToxBox® manufacturing position in 2018 after receiving her bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.  

Ms. Avram continues to excel at PinPoint and was recently promoted to Supervisor of Quality Assurance and Control. Ms. Avram is a key PinPoint scientist who validates clinical and forensic testing applications for private, local, state, and federal laboratories across the U.S.  Marina specializes in high-throughput, liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) applications that support trace level quantitation and confirmation analysis of opioids, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, antidepressants, analgesics, sedatives, as well as several other illicit and prescribed drugs and their metabolites. 

Ms. Avram was selected as the inaugural PinPoint scholar and is now pursuing a master’s degree in pharmacology and toxicology as part of the Interdisciplinary Biomedical Science program at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Her thesis research was recently highlighted in her first publication Hands-Free Analytical Urine Testing Technology Validated for Drug-Facilitated Crime Investigations. This patent pending technology is a first of its kind that begins to bridge hands-free concepts that are generally associated with immune-based autoanalyzers with quantitative and confirmation testing platforms.
