Thomas Lüscher
Thomas F. Lüscher is a Swiss professor of cardiology, director of research, education and development and a consultant cardiologist at the Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust and Imperial College London, and director of the Center for Molecular Cardiology at the University of Zurich.He completed his PhD in 1988 at the University of Basel, with a thesis titled "Endothelial Vasoactive Substances and Cardiovascular Disease", in which he looked at the role of chemicals derived from endothelium on cardiovascular disease. From 1996 to 2017, he was professor and chairman of cardiology at the University Hospital of Zürich and director of CardioVascular Research at the Institute of Physiology, part of the University of Zurich.
Lüscher was the editor of the ''European Heart Journal'' from 2009 to 2020, by which time he had studied the endothelium for over 30 years. He has described COVID-19 as ultimately an endothelial disease. In 2021 he addressed one of the most popular heart health questions, "are wine, chocolate and coffee good or bad for you?".
Lüscher received backlash after publishing an article in “Cardiovascular Medicine” in 2023, in which he criticised young doctors, negatively stating a „work-life balance is more important than a career“ to the next generation of doctors and attributing them a „victim mentality“, as well as calling them „non resilient“.
