Profile of the institute

We aspire to be one of the leading German institute in the field of pharmacology. We will reach this goal by forming an interdisciplinary science team that does high-impact research. By collaborating with a variety of clinical and research partners, we intend to translate our research discoveries into clinical practice. Furthermore, our institute continually offers new opportunities for training and continued development of scientists and medical co-workers.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

The central goal of our teaching philosophy is based on continual self-assessment and providing a collegial and educational working environment for students.

RESEARCH STRATEGY

We intend to transfer what we learn from our biomedically oriented research into the development of new therapies for human diseases. This translational research must have two principle aims: one is an in-depth understanding of the pathological progression of the disease and the other is the identification of molecular targets that can lead to new treatment strategies and medicines.

Welcome!

Pharmacology is a medical science that focuses on understanding the mechanisms through which pharmacological substances work in the human body. Therefore, discoveries from this field will provide doctors with research-based therapies.

The integrative Zentrum für Pharmakologie und Toxikologie (IZPT, short: Zentrum für Pharmakologie) is a combined ressource oriented structure and presents two institutes: „Institut für Pharmakologie und Toxikologie“ and „Institut für Klinische Pharmakologie“.

Our goals are to identify substances and to provide methods that lead to quicker and more efficient translation of new pharmaceutical agents into clinical practice. Through our work, we also intent to the transfer what we learn about the mechanisms of action to the medical field to improve therapies.

From our website, you can find out what we are doing and what we have to offer in regards to our research and its application. We thank you for your interest in our institute and enjoy.

Yours,

Ali El-Armouche
