About
Dr. P.J.M. Sessink is a leading authority in occupational and environmental exposure to hazardous drugs, with a primary focus on antineoplastic agents. His research has fundamentally shaped safe handling practices in healthcare settings, particularly through the quantification of surface contamination and the evaluation of engineering controls. His most cited work, a 2014 study on the CytoCare robotic system, demonstrated how automation can drastically reduce contamination and worker exposure during chemotherapy preparation, achieving 52 citations. This landmark paper provided critical evidence for the adoption of closed-system drug transfer devices and robotic compounding, directly influencing international safety guidelines. Dr. Sessink’s contributions have been instrumental in moving the field from qualitative risk assessment to precise, data-driven exposure monitoring, with his methods now standard in hospital pharmacies worldwide. His work has not only advanced analytical chemistry for trace drug detection but has also empowered institutions to implement effective protective measures, protecting countless healthcare workers from the chronic risks of cytotoxic drug handling.
