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.
