CV

PD Dr. Julien Renard has led an international lifestyle since childhood.

He attended secondary school in the United States (at the Lycée Français de New York).

Upon returning to Europe he studied medicine at the University of Turin in Italy, where he became a Doctor of Medicine, winning the Davide Teresio Zenone prize for academic achievement. He then began his clinical specialist training in Switzerland and worked as a resident at the Geneva University Hospitals. It was there that he completed his urological training, obtaining the title of FMH-accredited specialist and passing the examination of the European Board of Urology (FEBU). Once appointed chief resident, in addition to his general and oncology-related urology activities, he took on responsibility for functional urology, neuro-urology, and urodynamics. In June 2016, he became the first urologist in Switzerland to complete the FMH course in neuro-urology after completing a fellowship in Milan in the unit run by Professor M. Spinelli, pioneer of sacral neuromodulation, and at the Nottwil SPZ in the unit run by Professor J. Pannek.

In 2017 he was appointed chief physician and regional director for functional urology and neuro-urology, as well as deputy chief physician in the Urology Unit of the Hôpitaux du Tessin (EOC). He was actively involved in the creation of the Prostate Cancer Center of Italian-Speaking Switzerland, which subsequently obtained certification from the DKG as a center of excellence.

His areas of expertise are the management of urological cancers (prostate, bladder, and kidney), stone disease, functional urology, and neuro urology. Alongside his clinical activities, Dr. Renard is also active in the academic sphere. He has authored more than 60 publications in peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Renard is quadrilingual and has been invited to speak at a range of national and international conferences. He is a faculty member (Assistant Professor) at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and for the ‘Master of Medical Science’ program at the Università della Svizzera italiana (USI).
