The area of interest of the research group Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapy is the safe and efficient use of medicinal products – including small molecules, biologicals and vaccines – in humans.
Organ Systems is the home of research groups based in clinical departments and units engaging into research in Developmental Medicine (maternal-fetal and reproductive medicine, neonatology, pediatrics, pediatric urology, pediatric surgery, pediatric orthopedic surgery) and Regenerative Medicine (gynaecology, urology, orthopedic, trauma, plastic, abdominal surgery, physical medicine and rehabilitation). Their research is ...
The department's research is organized within four large programmes with significant interactions between them: development of instruments and outcome measurement, educational research, clinical epidemiology and health care organisation research. It focusses on a broad range of clinical situations, with care for the elderly and diagnostics as its corner-stones. 1. Instrument development and outcome research Together with 11 other institutes ...
The department Pharmacology is mainly developing research activities in the domain of Neuro-immuno-endocrinology: 1. Development and differentiation of pituitary cells; 2. Regulation and quantification of PRL gene expression, transcription, translation; 3. Purification and characterisation of PRL cell (sub) populations; 4. Pathogenesis of pituitary gland tumours; 5. Role of PRL and GH in the lymphohemopoietic system. 6. PRL receptor ...
In the research group Experimental Pharmacology the vast majority of scientists are trained in pharmacology and psychopharmacology. Our team has however a nice complementarity between a number of neuroscientists-pharmacologists engaged in preclinical research, a number of analytical experts looking for new sensitive methods for monitoring numerous neuromediators, brain biomarkers and pharmacological read-outs, and a number of colleagues who ...
