Marcello Pedruzzi likes to define himself as a bridge builder, someone who connects people with each other. His background is all but linear, therefore he can be defined as a creative, structured and communicative scientific expert. Human beings with their relationships are at the centre of his interests. In recent years he has started focusing into innovative therapies in the healthcare system. Currently he negotiates the reimbursement of innovative therapies in one of the biggest Swiss health insurance companies. At the same time he is studying Applied Ethics at the University of Zurich. Furthermore, he tries to find the time for his passions: music and generally arts, languages, nature (specially the mountains) and science fiction.
