Christoph Mörgeli

Christoph Mörgeli[1] (/mɒɡɛlj/ born 16 July 1960) is a Swiss medical historian, journalist and former politician.

Mörgeli then studied history, Political Science and German Literature and Linguistics at University of Zürich graduating in 1985 with a Licentiate (equivalent to a Master's degree).

In 1986, he completed his Doctorate under professor Peter Stadler, on a thesis about Johannes Hegetschweiler.
