Rate My Professor Jack Janetzki

Dr. Jack Janetzki is a Lecturer in Pharmacy and Pharmacology in the School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences, College of Health, at Adelaide University. He earned a Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours) from the University of South Australia between 2012 and 2015, a Graduate Certificate in Pharmacy Practice (Internship) from Monash University from 2016 to 2017, and a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of South Australia from 2018 to 2023. As a practicing pharmacist, he has worked in pharmacies across rural Victoria and urban and rural South Australia. He is credentialed to conduct Home Medicine Reviews, Residential Medication Management Reviews, vaccinations, and prescribing as a pharmacist. Janetzki is a member of the Quality Use of Medicines and Pharmacy Research Centre at Adelaide University, where he serves as a pharmacoepidemiologist, and he sits on the Local Advisory Committee for Pharmaceutical Defence Limited, a not-for-profit organization providing risk management advice to pharmacists.

His research specializes in enhancing medication safety via pharmacoepidemiology, pharmacovigilance, and medicine utilisation analysis. He applies epidemiological approaches to large administrative and dispensing datasets to examine medicine utilisation patterns, effectiveness, safety risks, and policy effects, including medicine shortages, down-scheduling, and pharmacist-led interventions. Janetzki combines clinical practice, big data analytics, data science, and molecular modelling to link population-level observations with biological mechanisms of adverse drug events. Key publications include 'Perceptions of pharmacology education and assessment among medical radiation science students at one Australian university: A cross-sectional survey' (Radiography, 2026), 'Section 19A in practice: Assessing the provision of overseas-registered medicines to mitigate the impact of medicine shortages in Australia' (British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 2025), 'Utilisation trends of lisdexamfetamine: insights from recent medicine shortages in Australia' (Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety, 2025), and 'Application of an integrative drug safety model for detection of adverse drug events associated with inhibition of glutathione peroxidase 1 in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease' (Pharmaceutical Research, 2023). He has received the 2025 Unstoppable Teaching & Learning Awards: Enhanced Learning Award from the University of South Australia and the Best Lecturer 2024 award, shared with Dr. Brian Chai, from the South Australian Pharmacy Student Association. Janetzki coordinates courses such as Fundamentals of Pharmacology (PHAR 2019), Pharmacy Practice Health Services Provision (PHAR 3027), Managing and Developing Pharmacy Operations (PHAR 4029), and Pharmacy Healthcare Services (PHAR 5068). He is eligible to co-supervise Masters and PhD students and available for media comment.
