About
Miki Hioki is a leading researcher in the field of pharmaceutical automation and patient safety, with a primary focus on the robotic compounding of hazardous drugs. Her most-cited work, a 2017 study evaluating the APOTECAchemo robot in a Japanese hospital, has garnered 49 citations and stands as a landmark contribution to the safe handling of injectable anticancer agents. In this study, Hioki demonstrated that robotic compounding achieves exceptional accuracy and precision for drugs like fluorouracil and cyclophosphamide, significantly reducing the risk of human error and occupational exposure for pharmacy staff. Her research directly addresses critical challenges in hospital pharmacy practice, bridging the gap between cutting-edge automation technology and real-world clinical implementation. By rigorously validating the feasibility of robotic systems in Japan’s healthcare environment, Hioki has paved the way for safer, more reliable chemotherapy preparation. Her work not only advances the science of pharmaceutical robotics but also underscores a deep commitment to protecting both patients and healthcare workers from the dangers of cytotoxic drugs, making her a pivotal figure in the evolution of modern hospital pharmacy.
