Carlos A. Manassero is an Argentine researcher and professor, graduated in pharmaceutical sciences, more commonly known as pharmacology. He earned his degree from the Juan Agustín Maza University, at the Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry, and remains professionally connected to the institution.
In terms of his professional career, Manassero works not only in the academic and scientific fields but also in public administration.
Among his roles, he served as director of pharmacology at the Ministry of Health of the Province of Mendoza.
Manassero and his early steps
In addition to his training at Juan Agustín Maza University, Manassero completed a master’s degree in public health and social security. He has played a prominent role in pharmacology, the science focused on studying different chemical substances in relation to living organisms.
Research in this field includes topics such as the properties, effects, and mechanisms of action of various substances.
Pharmacology also analyzes how medications interact with the human body and how they influence the development and treatment of diseases.
Pharmacology and public health intersect in campaigns that promote disease prevention, responsible self-medication, and medication control.
Manassero and his relationship with science
Within the field of pharmacology, Manassero focuses on issues such as clinical pharmacy, drug clinical trials, drug information and safety, and psychopharmacology.
At Juan Agustín Maza University, he serves both as a professor and a researcher.
He teaches pharmacology and toxicology at the Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry and is also the director of the Center for Drug Information (CIME).
This center aims to bring knowledge about medications closer to both the scientific community and the general public.
Its mission includes promoting appropriate medication use and fostering research across various branches of medicine.
CIME also creates educational materials and campaigns on responsible self-medication and designs educational programs to improve public health understanding.
Among Manassero’s most relevant contributions are his studies on medication administration, improving the quality of life for people living with HIV, and research on schizophrenia diagnosis.
He has also collaborated with colleagues to study the challenges of conducting experimental work during the pandemic and the difficulties faced by students and professionals under those conditions.
Since experimental work is essential for students to gain real-world practice, Manassero examined its adaptation to the virtual environments that emerged during the pandemic.
Pharmacology
Among the many branches of pharmacology, one key area involves research on medication use and proper administration.
As medications play a crucial role in preventing and managing diseases, their safe use depends on the quality of information available to both patients and healthcare professionals.
Both national and international institutions organize scientific events, workshops, programs, and talks to promote the responsible use of medications.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) run the Essential Medicines Program, which aims to ensure the global supply and accessibility of essential drugs.
In Argentina, the National Administration of Drugs, Food and Medical Technology (ANMAT) is part of the Ministry of Health and oversees the regulation of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and drugs.
ANMAT is also responsible for evaluating the safety and efficacy of medications, controlling hygiene products, and monitoring all stages of drug production and use.
Additionally, the agency promotes health and implements prevention and protection campaigns.
Manassero is one of the researchers conducting scientific studies in Argentina, particularly those focused on pharmacology and responsible medication use.
With his research on the characteristics and administration of drugs, he has dedicated his professional life to advancing the field of pharmaceutical sciences.
Through his various studies, Manassero contributes significantly to the field of medicine, especially in areas related to pharmacological research and healthcare safety.
