About

Jarkko Ketolainen is a prominent pharmaceutical scientist whose research focuses on the physical characterization and formulation of solid dosage forms, particularly tablets. His work bridges materials science and pharmaceutics, exploring how fundamental physical properties—such as particle shape, compaction behavior, and microstructure—directly influence drug product performance and manufacturing. Ketolainen’s most cited study, "Effect of shape on the physical properties of pharmaceutical tablets" (2022), has garnered 14 citations, highlighting its relevance in optimizing tablet design for improved mechanical strength and dissolution. Beyond this, his contributions include pioneering methods for non-destructive analysis of tablet internal structure using terahertz spectroscopy and X-ray microtomography, advancing quality control in pharmaceutical manufacturing. His research has practical implications for the development of more robust and predictable oral solid dosage forms, impacting both academic understanding and industrial practice. Ketolainen’s work is widely recognized for its rigorous approach to linking material properties with tablet performance, making him a key figure in the field of pharmaceutical technology.
