About

Dima Faris is a leading researcher in pharmacy automation and the safe handling of hazardous drugs, with a particular focus on the implementation and evaluation of robotic compounding systems. Her most impactful work, a three-year study of a first-generation chemotherapy-compounding robot, has garnered 39 citations and provides critical, long-term performance data on automated i.v. preparation. This landmark study, conducted at a hospital in Saudi Arabia, rigorously assessed the CytoCare robot’s accuracy, efficiency, and impact on occupational safety, offering essential evidence for health systems considering automation to reduce human exposure to antineoplastic agents. Faris’s research directly addresses the intersection of patient safety, workflow optimization, and occupational health in oncology pharmacy. By publishing real-world, multi-year outcomes, she has helped establish benchmarks for robotic compounding, influencing both clinical practice and technology development. Her work is a vital resource for pharmacy leaders and researchers seeking to improve the safety and reliability of chemotherapy preparation.
