Patrick Eppenberger
Summary
I was originally born in Hong Kong and later grew up in Sao Paulo, Geneva and Zurich. I graduated as an industrial designer from the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) and as a medical doctor from the University of Zurich with an MD thesis on magnetic resonance neurography and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).
After my first education I worked for design agencies such as Hannes Wettstein and Paolo Fancelli, in the field industrial and consumer goods design as well as in the development of medical technology (insulin pumps and devices for diabetic patients, orthopedic instruments).
Succeeding my MD thesis I followed residency training in radiology, forensic medicine, psychiatry and surgery and later worked as an attending physician in a psychiatric outpatient clinic in Zurich.
Due to my international background and my qualifications, which appear to be very diverse at first glance, my scientific interest lies in the field of transdisciplinary research.
