BSc MD (Res) MCh (Orth) FRCS (Orth) FFSEM

After graduation from medical school  at the University of Zurich in 1998, I spent three years in basic research at Duke University (NC/USA). I then pursued training in orthopaedics and traumatology at the University of Zürich, followed by fellowships in orthopaedic tumor surgery in Florence and Melbourne and another fellowship in hip and knee arthroplasty in Melbourne. I then was appointed as head of hip and tumor surgery at the University of Lausanne ( 2011-2014 ). Since 2014 I am working at the Schulthess Clinic in Zürich, currently in the position of Vice Head of Hip Surgery. My current research interest is focused on biomechanical aspects of hip replacement surgery and on outcome studies. I am a senior lecturer at the University of Zurich and at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETHZ).
