Marcello Pedruzzi

MSc Pharm (FD), MAS Appl. Ethics

Marcello Pedruzzi likes to define himself as a bridge builder, someone who connects people with each other. A committed optimist, he is a creative, structured and communicative person and an expert in science and applied ethics. 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. There he is also responsible for a nation-wide project aiming to harmonize this kind of reimbursement in Switzerland. Furthermore, he tries to find the time for his passions: music and generally arts, languages, nature (specially the mountains) and science fiction.
