INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF PHARMACOLOGY «GIAMPAOLO VELO»

Founded in 1975

1st Directors Pietro Benigno, Luciano Rausa, Giampaolo Velo and Derek A. Willoughby, now Pietro Minuz

Pharmacology is the study of drugs. A drug is any substance useful for the diagnosis, treatment, study or prevention of disease or the modification of physiological functions. In the recent past, public, and private institutions have made great efforts to support drug research. This has contributed to prolonging life expectancy and improving its quality. The continuous progress of pharmacology is essentially due to its development as a multidisciplinary science. Studying the effects of drugs requires a sound knowledge of basic medical sciences (e.g., biochemistry, physiology, microbiology), as well as knowledge of pharmaceutical chemistry, biophysics, molecular biology and medical practice. The school aims to facilitate and promote relations between scientists involved in the various disciplines related to the study of drugs. It will thus be possible to have highly qualified interdisciplinary exchanges of new ideas and information. The topics that the school intends to deal with in particular depth are problems related to molecular pharmacology, which studies the mechanism of action of drugs at the molecular level, and clinical pharmacology, which studies the effects and interactions of drugs in humans.
