Academic Career and Research Areas

The research of Prof. Tutarel (*1976) focusses on adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD). His research is including studies aimed at identifying novel biomarkers in ACHD patients to enhance the understanding of the disease mechanism, enabling earlier diagnosis and developing better treatment as well as clinical studies with multicentre and multinational collaborations. 

Prof. Tutarel studied Medicine at the Hannover Medical School in Hannover/Germany, where he also completed his residency in Internal Medicine and Cardiology. After a Fellowship at the Adult Congenital Heart Centre and National Centre for Pulmonary Hypertension of the Royal Brompton Hospital in London/UK supported by a grant from the European Society of Cardiology, he received his Habilitation degree from the Hannover Medical School in 2014. He became a Senior Consultant at the German Heart Centre Munich in 2016, and was appointed as an Assistant Professor at the TUM in July 2019.
