About

Aude Berroneau is a leading researcher in hospital pharmacy automation, specializing in the aseptic and cytotoxic preparation of sterile drugs. Her work centers on enhancing patient safety and operational efficiency through robotic and automated systems. A key contribution is the development and validation of a simulation program for the KIRO® Oncology robot, which precisely prepares monoclonal antibodies and anti-infectious drugs. This study (16 citations) demonstrated how excipient formulations impact compounding accuracy, setting a new standard for robotic validation. Berroneau also conducted a pivotal comparative analysis (11 citations) of two automation methods—robot and peristaltic pump—against manual processes. Using Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), she quantified risk reduction, while time-motion studies revealed significant productivity gains. Her research provides hospital pharmacies with evidence-based frameworks for adopting automation, reducing human error and contamination risks in sterile compounding. By bridging engineering and clinical pharmacy, Berroneau’s work directly improves the safety of high-risk drug preparation, making her a key figure in the digital transformation of hospital pharmacy practice.
