Prof. Dr. Dr. Colin C. Schwarzwald serves as Professor of Equine Internal Medicine and Director of the Clinic of Equine Internal Medicine at the Vetsuisse Faculty, University of Zurich, where he leads clinical and research initiatives in equine cardiology.
His academic foundation includes:
- 1997: Veterinary Medicine graduation from University of Zurich
- 1998-2001: Assistant veterinarian position at University of Zurich (Dr. med. vet. degree)
- 2001-2004: Large Animal Internal Medicine residency at The Ohio State University
- 2001-2006: PhD in Veterinary Clinical Sciences at The Ohio State University focusing on cardiovascular pharmacology and imaging
Research centers on advanced cardiac diagnostics in large animals, specifically validating novel echocardiographic techniques (tissue Doppler, 2D speckle tracking) for functional assessment in horses, goats, sheep, and calves, alongside molecular characterization of equine cardiac ion channels. Interdisciplinary collaborations extend these methods to rodent models of human cardiac diseases, emphasizing translational applications.
Laboratory capabilities feature comprehensive cardiac assessment tools including GE Vivid 7 and Vevo 2100 echocardiography systems, telemetric/Holter ECG devices (Televet, Spacelabs), phonocardiography systems, and full hemodynamic monitoring/catheterization equipment for both clinical and preclinical research.
