Sean Hennessy, Pharm.D., Ph.D., is professor of epidemiology in biostatistics at the University of Pennsylvania. He conducts research in the field of pharmacoepidemiology, which is the study of the health effects of drugs and other medical products in populations. His team identified a survival benefit of potassium supplementation in users of loop diuretics, and studied serious health consequences of drug–drug interactions involving high-risk drugs

including anticoagulants, antidiabetic agents, and antiplatelet agents. His research has produced crucial knowledge about the cardiovascular safety of many widely used drugs for mental health conditions, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression, and schizophrenia. Dr. Hennessy also evaluated an early approach to using medical insurance data to improve prescribing, finding it ineffective despite its federal mandate. This work contributed to the omission of a requirement for drug utilization review programs in Medicare Part D.
