About

Pirjo Tajarobi is a pharmaceutical scientist whose research focuses on the physical and mechanical properties of solid dosage forms, particularly tablets. Her work bridges materials science and pharmaceutics, with a key interest in how tablet shape influences critical quality attributes. In her most-cited study, "Effect of shape on the physical properties of pharmaceutical tablets" (2022), Tajarobi systematically investigated how geometric design—such as convex, flat, or beveled edges—affects tablet hardness, friability, and disintegration. This contribution is vital for optimizing tablet manufacturing, ensuring consistent drug release, and reducing production defects. While her citation count (14 for this paper) reflects a focused, early-stage impact, her insights are foundational for researchers in powder compaction and formulation science. Tajarobi’s work is particularly notable for its practical relevance: by linking tablet shape to performance, she provides actionable guidelines for the pharmaceutical industry, helping to improve product quality and patient safety. Her research is a valuable resource for students and professionals seeking to understand the interplay between design and functionality in solid oral dosage forms.
