The specialist in Clinical Pharmacology participated in the Cycle of Conferences of the XVI Master of Reproductive Medicine and Genetics
Dr. Ana Peiró, a specialist doctor in Clinical Pharmacology, who works in the Unit of Pain of the University Hospital of Alicante, and professor
of the Pharmacology Department of the UMH, participated in the Conference Series “Controversies in Human Reproduction “Of the Master of Medicine and Reproductive Genetics in its 16th edition with the lecture entitled” Research: from idea to project “.
As coordinator of the research group on Neuropharmacology applied to Pain and Functional Diversity, Peiró explained to the students of this program that “all research is born from an idea that, aimed at improving the health of people, will try to improve their abilities to adapt To the challenges of life. This idea will become a hypothesis of innovative work that will try to respond, through a systematic and organized process, to a well-defined research question and we also call it main objective. ”
“The research project is the document that collects in detail the procedures by which researchers select patients, collect data, analyze and interpret them.”
“Based on the control of assignment to the study factors, the observational design (where the researcher is limited to observe and measure) is different from the experimental one (where a study factor is assigned and controls it throughout the research). This difference establishes different legal and ethical requirements established to protect the rights of patients, violated throughout history, often based on “the purpose justifies the means,” he said.
Dr. Peiró specified that the current normative framework of biomedical research in Spain has its origin and connects two laws, promulgated 20 years ago, Law 13, science and Law 14, health, both of 1986. Also , Said that “its subsequent development guarantees from the confidentiality to regulate the work with biological samples based on the principles of quality, effectiveness and equal opportunities, in order to encourage the results of research to become effective therapies to combat Different pathologies and to improve the health of individuals and communities. ”
The Cycle of Conferences “Controversies in Human Reproduction” is organized by the Chair of Clinical Reproductive Biomedicine Vistahermosa, along with the Cell Biology Area of the Miguel Hernández University Medical School (UMH) and the Reproduction and Genetics Units of the Hospital Clínica Vistahermosa. The presentations, framed in the Master’s Degree in Reproductive Medicine and Genetics, deal with the latest advances in pre-production and clinical genetics and are taught by national and international specialists.
