Science & Research

Today we witness an eventful time in which the powerful new forces of genomics, information technology and economics are rapidly changing the science and art of medicine. This requires more specialization than ever before. Consequently, there is an increasing demand for an integrated approach, which is provided by the discipline of Clinical Pharmacology. Clinical Pharmacology pursues a scientific goal by studying drug action in patients and volunteers, a clinical goal by administering appropriate drug therapy and a regulatory goal by assessing the risk/benefit ratio of drug candidates in drug development and reimbursement. (Müller M, Ed. “Clinical Pharmacology: current topics and case studies.” Springer Wien New York, 2010)".

Based on these developments we strive for developing innovative solutions for the three classical dimensions of our discipline. Our research efforts take place in the interdisciplinary environment of the Vienna General Hospital (AKH) in cooperation with multiple international academic and industrial partners (for details see icons for publications, EU projects, sections - disease areas, national special research projects "SFBs").
