Clinical Pharmacology Department, Hospital La Paz, School of Medicine

The Research experience and capabilities of our group are focus on the evaluation of efficacy, effectiveness and safety of drugs through:
1. Pharmacovigilance Program from Laboratory Signals at Hospital. It is prospective and based on the systematic detection of predefined abnormal laboratory signals that indicate serious reactions frequently related to the use of drugs.
2. Drug Utilization studies (DUS). The ultimate aim of a DUS is to achieve optimal therapeutic practice by describing the use of drugs, the qualitative assessment of the data to identify problems that enable the intervention on the identified problems.
3. Research and development of techniques and methods for personalization of drug treatments through the use of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring and Pharmacogenetics as a tool for the individualization of drug therapies.
4. Clinical trials to evaluate the Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodinamics of drugs.
