Johannes Burtscher studied business administration (diploma), and biology (Bachelor) at the LFU in Innsbruck. He then completed a Master programme in neurochemistry in Stockholm Sweden and obtained a PhD from the Medical University Innsbruck on his research on the neurochemical characterization of epileptogenesis and oxygen utilization in the brain with relevance for neurodegenerative diseases that he performed both in Innsbruck and in Italy. Following the PhD studies, he moved to Lausanne for a 3-year postdoc at the EPFL, working on the role of mitochondria in neurodegenerative diseases and associated stress- and anxiety disorders. He then worked on projects related to cellular and systemic adaptations to hypoxia, primarily in the context of hypoxic exercise and in neurological/psychiatric diseases at the University of Lausanne. Since July 2024 he is member of the ISW.
