Research
Instytut Farmakologii PANThe Jerzy Maj Institute of Pharmacology of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IF PAN) in Krakow, founded in 1974 (since 1954 the Department of Pharmacology of the Polish Academy of Sciences), is currently the leading scientific center in Poland, specializing in the field of neuropsychopharmacology. Scientific research, carried out in 14 departments, laboratories and a state-of-the-art animal facility, is focused on disorders of nervous system function and the search for new biologically active substances that act on the central nervous system and may find use as drugs in the treatment of mental and neurological diseases.
Priority areas of research, carried out at the Institute of Pharmacology, include depression, schizophrenia, addiction to drugs and natural rewards, and chronic pain. Research on anxiety, post-traumatic stress, neurodegenerative and immunoendocrine processes, and in phytochemistry is also conducted here. The research directions being pursued involve the search for novel therapeutic strategies and biomarkers of certain pathological processes in the central nervous system using genomics, proteomics and transcriptomics.
