About

Michael Cotugno is a leading expert in the advancement of pharmacy technology, with a primary focus on the safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of sterile compounding, particularly for hazardous antineoplastic drugs. His seminal work, "Impact of Robotic Antineoplastic Preparation on Safety, Workflow, and Costs" (73 citations), established a foundational benchmark for the field, demonstrating that robotic systems can significantly reduce human error and occupational exposure while streamlining pharmacy operations. Beyond this landmark study, Cotugno has been a driving force in defining the specialty of pharmacy informatics, co-authoring key papers on the critical need for dedicated "Pharmacy Specialists in Medication-Use Systems and Technology." He also organized and led the influential Cleveland Clinic International IV Robotics Summit, bringing together global experts to chart the future of automated IV compounding. Through his research and leadership, Cotugno has directly shaped how modern hospitals approach medication safety, proving that robotic integration is not just a luxury but a vital solution for protecting both patients and healthcare workers.
