Bibi C. G. C. Mason-Slingerland

Dr. Bibi C. G. C. Mason-Slingerland is a Researcher in the Department of Medical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases at Erasmus Medical Center. Her work focuses on infection control related to medical devices, particularly endoscopes used in gastrointestinal procedures.

Her research interests center on medical device contamination, specifically duodenoscopes used in Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures. Dr. Mason-Slingerland investigates detection methods for contaminated devices, reprocessing protocols, and infection prevention strategies in hospital settings. Her work combines clinical observation with microbiological analysis to address critical patient safety issues.

Dr. Mason-Slingerland's recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on duodenoscope-associated infections and contamination detection. Her research employs observational study designs, molecular typing, and whole genome sequencing to identify contamination patterns and evaluate prevention strategies. The work has significant implications for hospital infection control protocols and patient safety in endoscopic procedures.

Her research has garnered attention across academic and clinical platforms, with mentions on social media (X, Bluesky), blog coverage, and readership on academic platforms like Mendeley. Several of her papers have received citations in Scopus, indicating their impact in the field of infection control and gastroenterology.

Dr. Mason-Slingerland collaborates extensively with colleagues at Erasmus MC, including researchers such as van der Ploeg, Klaassen, Severin, Vos, and Bruno. These collaborations span multiple departments and demonstrate interdisciplinary approaches to solving complex infection control challenges in medical device usage.
