Guest of honour at the Cardiocentro Ticino Christmas meal on 5 December 2014, Prof. Thomas F. Lüscher was presented the Cardiocentro Award. This is a symbolic prize that has been given for many years to individuals that have made a particularly valuable contribution to improving the quality and prestige of the Company.

Head of Cardiology at University Hospital Zurich, Prof. Lüscher, received the award from the Cardiocentro management: Prof. Tiziano Moccetti, Healthcare Director; and Lic. Oec. Fabio A. Rezzonico, Managing Director. Those present were reminded of Prof. Lüscher's achievements and international renown, including his key role in the project which now sees Cardiocentro Ticino as an official partner of the University of Zurich. Formalised in 2012, the partnership with University Hospital Zurich sees an important exchange of experience and collaboration in terms of training, clinical cardiology and research, and also in terms of regenerative cardiology and stem-cell techniques.
