Clinical Pharmacology

The aim of our group is to investigate the use of medicines and evaluate its benefit/risk relationship in usual clinical practice. Our group coordinates the Catalan centre of the Spanish System of Pharmacovigilance. Research activities on pharmacology and pharmacoepidemiology are coupled with undergraduate teaching at the Autonomous University of Barcelona Medical School, training of specialists in clinical pharmacology, and continuous education of health professionals on therapeutics.

The group is a Special Group of Research recognized by AGAUR GenCat.  It is a partner of “The European Consortium “EU PE&PV Network” (European Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacovigilance Network)” and it is part of the European Network of Centres for Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacovigilance (ENCePP). It gives institutional support to the Clinical Research Ethical Committee of the University hospital Vall d’Hebron (UHVH), the Drug and Pharmacotherapeutic Committee of the UHVH, and also to the Drug and Pharmacotherapeutic Committee of the Institut Català de la Salut.
