Clinical research is a scientific study that involves humans.

Individuals volunteer to participate in carefully conducted studies that ultimately uncover improved methods and knowledge on screening, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.

Ethical strategies ensure the integrity of the research results, they also protect the safety of patients who volunteer to participate in the trials.

Ethical parameters help to prevent participants from being exploited or treated unfairly by the research team.

The discipline of clinical pharmacology helps healthcare professionals develop a deep understanding of numerous topics that are essential to the drug development process such as biochemistry, drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), pharmacometrics (modeling and simulation), pharmacogenomics, human toxicology, drug interactions, and more.
