Zusammenfassung


The International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (IUPHAR; (https://iuphar.org/) is the global umbrella organisation of pharmacology, representing 63 national societies comprising about 37'000 pharmacologists world-wide. IUPHAR is an officially recognized NGO to WHO.

IUPHAR is a voluntary, non-profit association representing the interests of pharmacologists around the world through:

The Swiss Society of Pharmacology & Toxicology (https://naturalsciences.ch/organisations/sspt; SSPT) was founded in 1965. The aims of the SSPT, as defined in the by-laws is to defend and integrate the interests of pharmacology and toxicology in education and research in Switzerland, and to make contacts with other societies having similar interests.

Soon after its foundation, the SSPT became a member of IUPHAR. Several SSPT council members have served as IUPHAR officers, namely Peter Waser (treasurer 1972-78, president 1978-81), Gerhard Zbinden (councilor 1975-78, treasurer 1981-84), Alfred Pletscher (treasurer 1984-87, vice-president 1987-90) and Urs Rüegg (treasurer 2006-2014). As can be seen, IUPHAR likes Swiss treasurers.
