Descripción de la actividad

The Teófilo Hernando’s School of Pharmacology (THSP)

was initiated in 1996, in the frame of the summer courses

of the UIMP. At that time, Rector José Luis García Delgado

invited professor Antonio G. García (Autonomous University

of Madrid) to organize this School. The courses are held at

the magnificent Palace of la Magdalena, located on top of

a hill at the Peninsula of La Magdalena.

The format of a UIMP’s School «Escuela» is based in

the critical analysis in the frontier of knowledge of a

given scientific topic, along a week (Monday to Friday) by

scientists and students of all over the world. Emphasis

is always made in drug discovery and development as

well in basic research that illuminate on the identification

of new biological drug targets for treating disease. The

THSP was named after Teófilo Hernando, a Spanish

MD/PhD pharmacologist who was trained under

Oswald Schmiedeberg at Strasbourg, the first formal

Pharmacology School where many pharmacologists

were trained at the beginning of the XX century and then

developed the subject of basic and clinical pharmacology

all over the world. Teófilo Hernando introduced

pharmacology as an independent teaching and science

subject at the Central University of Madrid, along the fi rst

four decades of the XX century. He trained numerous other

disciples that extended the subject to many other Spanish

universities along the XX century.

Since 1996, 13 editions of the THSP have been held. Over

100 internationally recognized scientist professors and

over 500 students have since then attended the THSP.
