Saskia De Gani studied human movement sciences and sports at the ETH Zurich and earned her Ph.D. in integrative human physiology at the University of Zurich. After completing her doctorate, she primarily worked as a physiologist in education and knowledge transfer. In parallel, she built and managed her own company in the field of nutrition and exercise consulting. In 2019, she started contributing her interdisciplinary expertise in health sciences to Careum, and since September 2020, she has been leading the Careum Center for Health Literacy. Managing this competence center includes research, but even more the transfer of insights into education, practice, and policy.
