Biography
Biography Stefan Mühlebach Professor, PhD, Hospital Pharmacist FPH Stefan Mühlebach is Scientific Director in Global Regulatory Affairs at Vifor Pharma Ltd. in Switzerland. His main interest in regulatory science exists in the non-biological drugs (NBCDs) like i.v. iron products. Vifor, being a global leader of pharmaceutical products to treat iron deficiency, has since several decades a special expertise and experience in R & D, manufacturing, and marketing of such iron complex-based therapeutics world-wide. Stefan Mühlebach obtained a diploma in pharmacy (MSc Pharm) at the University of Bern in Switzerland in 1975, and a PhD in pharmacology and toxicology in 1979 with a faculty award- winning thesis on persistent compounds, a scientific project granted by the Swiss National Foundation and the Federal Office for the Environment till 2005. These environmental contaminates were investigated as model compounds in pharmacology to get insight into drug distribution and tissue storage in animals but also in the uptake and release mechanism in cell culture models. His first academic posting was as lecturer in pharmacology at the Medical Faculty of the University of Bern, where he presented his university habilitation in 1993. In 2000 he got his ”venia docendi” at the Medical Faculty of the University of Basel and at the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, where he continued, beside student teaching, own research activities including directions of theses in pharmacology and applied science in pharmacology and clinical nutrition, also related to hospital pharmacy practice. He was appointed Professor of Pharmacology and Hospital Pharmacy at the University of Basel in 2004 and is affiliated to the Institute of Clinical Pharmacy and Epidemiology as external group member*. *https://pharma.unibas.ch/research-groups/people/profile/person/muehlebach/?tx_x4epersdb_pi1%5BoriginPageID%5D=44842&cHash=42bcfbe93a4ca4a20bc6e61d8e5cea1a Stefan Mühlebach’s professional career has spanned 30 years.
