The mission of the Foundations for Biomedical Research of the different University Hospitals is to support, manage, coordinate and promote high quality multidisciplinary and translational basic, clinical and epidemiological as well as the teaching activities in all fields of Biomedical Sciences.
They coordinate the activities of the respective Health Research Institute.
The Foundations for Biomedical Research are conceived as a functional structure with the following functions/missions:

  • The development of multidisciplinary biomedical research of excellence,
  • The translational research in basic, clinical , technological , epidemiological and health services at the national and international level
  • The collaboration and cooperation between the different research groups and Institutions that Participate in the Institute
  • The development of cooperative programs with other Hospitals or Institutions
  • The access to official calls for public and/or private funding
  • The financial accountability and ongoing management of all research funds from grants and contracts, including the selection and recruitment of new researchers and the acquisition of new equipments/services .
  • The communication with funding agencies , acting as liaison on issues related to financial matters and during audits or monitoring visits
  • The presentation of all financial regulatory reporting requirements related to research projects
  • The elaboration of management reports to support the internal cost allocations , year-end reporting, future planning's and the selection of future research partners
  • The promotion and translation of the scientific results to the society , the National Health System, the scientific community , and the economic systems.
In summary, the mission of the Foundations for Biomedical Research is to manage and coordinate all of the resources for research (basic, clinical and epidemiological) and stimulate the development and innovation of the Hospital in order to contribute to the improvement, promotion and protection of the health of the population.

Complutense University of Madrid . School of Medicine. Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology

Research Lines:
The Department of Pharmacology included several research groups working on cardiovascular pharmacology:

  • Cardiac pharmacology: Electrophysiological mechanisms involved in the genesis of cardiac arrhythmias, Endogenous and pharmacological regulation of cardiac ionic channels, Genetic basis of arrhythmia and drug-induced arrhythmia.
  • Vascular pharmacology. Signaling pathways involved in the generation and damage of target organs caused by systemic and pulmonar hypertension. Endogenous and pharmacological regulation of ionic channels in smooth muscle cells.
  • Pre-clinical evaluation of new cardiovascular drugs.
The Group of Cardiac Pharmacology use several techniques including the recording of cardiac action potential and ionic currents (patch-clamp technique) in isolated cardiomyocytes from animals, patients (in sinus rhythm or with chronic atrial fibrillation) and in heterologous expression systems. Molecular biology techniques (cell transfection, mutagenesis, western-blot, qPCR, immunocytochemistry, confocal microscopy), matematical and molecular modeling are also routinely used.
