RESEARCH INTEREST
1. Clinical trials in healthy subjects and patients
2. Evaluation of bioavailability and bioequivalence
3. Pharmacogenetics of metabolizing enzymes, transporters and receptors
Our research group in the Hopital Universitario de la Princesa is dedicated to two research lines: clinical trials and pharmacogenetics.
We mainly perform phase I clinical trials, both in healthy subjects and in patients, but also phase II, III and IV studies in collaboration with other hospital researchers. We have extensive experience in studies of bioavailability and bioequivalence, where we can take care of the complete development. In addition, we take care of all the necessary procedures to conduct the clinical trials according to the standards of good clinical practice to ensure that the rights of the participating subjects are respected and that the data are reliable: management, monitoring and pharmacovigilance.
On the other hand, we carry out pharmacogenetic studies to identify polymorphisms that can alter the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and safety of different drugs. We have mainly worked with antipsychotics, antidepressants, analgesics, antiplatelets, anticoagulants, antineoplastic, antivirals and drugs for the treatment of psoriasis. We can also perform epigenetic studies and determination of drug concentrations in blood.
In clinical trials and translational research studies we have collaborated with other hospital specialists such as Dermatology, Psychiatry, Anesthesiology, Neurology, Neurosurgery, General Surgery, Emergency, Radiology, Hematology, Oncology, Pneumology, Rehabilitation, Neurophysiology, Ophthalmology, Pain Unit, Intensive Medicine, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology and Internal Medicine.
