CV
Prof. Dr. med. Stefan Toggweiler, geboren 1975, ist per 31. März 2024 zum Titularprofessor für Medizinische Wissenschaften ernannt worden. Stefan Toggweiler studierte an der Universität Zürich Humanmedizin, wo er 2001 abschloss. Zwischen 2001 und 2010 arbeitete er als Assistenz- und Oberarzt im Kantonsspital Winterthur, GZO Wetzikon, Luzerner Kantonsspital, Kantonsspital Schwyz und am Universitätsspital Zürich. 2010 bis 2012 absolvierte er ein Fellowship in interventioneller und struktureller Kardiologie am St. Paul’s Hospital, Universität British Columbia, in Vancouver, Kanada. Seit August 2012 arbeitet Stefan Toggweiler am Luzerner Kantonsspital, seit April 2023 als Chefarzt der Kardiologie. Im März 2015 erhielt er von der Universität Zürich die Venia Legendi für seine Arbeit über «Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation» (TAVI), im Juni 2022 wurde er zum Titularprofessor an der Universität Zürich ernannt.
