He received the B.S. in Pharmacy degree from Drake University and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Pharmacy Continuing Education (with a minor in Statistics) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His primary responsibilities are the development, implementation and evaluation (relying heavily on statistical methodology) of continuing education offerings for individuals in the pharmaceutical industry and pharmacists within the United States. Dr. De Muth has authored over 35 research articles in the pharmacy and adult education literature. He has taught over 140 statistical short courses in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Western Europe and the Middle East. Dr. De Muth received the 1993 Rufus A. Lyman Award for most notable original research and/or scholarly work published in the American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education and 2000 William A. Blockstein Award from the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy for contributions to the field of continuing pharmaceutical education. He served as the chair of the Biostatistics Expert Committee (2000-2005) and is currently (2005-2010) chair of General Chapters Expert Committee for the United States Pharmacopeia and serves on the Institutional Review Board of Covance Laboratories.

In recent years, Dr. De Muth has focused primarily of outreach programs for scientists working in the pharmaceutical industry, initiating two new Land O'Lakes Conferences (bioanalytical and drug metabolism/applied pharmacikintics), expanded Spring on-campus short courses (including ones on toxicology, stability, drug metabolism and nanoparticles), created a three course series on applied drug development, and expanded onsite and regional short courses.
