About Us

The section of epidemiology is lead by Prof. Paul Torgerson in collaboration with three senior research assistants. We are involved in many projects at the university of Zurich and elsewere. The collaborators working in our offices at the Tierspital in Zürich are listed on the Staff page.

If you are looking for masters projects, research and job opportunities, please check out our News page or contact us directly.
