Peter Fuhr completed his medical studies in Basel in 1981 and then trained in neurology and related subjects in Basel, Zurich, and St. Gallen to become an FMH specialist in neurology. After a two-year research stay at the Human Motor Control Section (headed by Prof. Mark Hallett) at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland, USA, he returned to the University Hospital of Neurology in Basel in 1990.
Here, from 1997 to May 2020, he headed the Department of Clinical Neurophysiology (electroencephalography, electromyography, evoked potentials) with associated consultation hours for epilepsy and movement disorders. From 2009 to 2020, he was also deputy chief physician at the Neurological Clinic. Since then, he has been available as a consulting physician for neurology at Reha Rheinfelden, the Cantonal Hospital of Jura in Delémont, and the University Hospital of Basel.
His particular clinical interest lies in movement disorders (Parkinson's disease, blepharospasm and other dystonias, Huntington's disease, etc.). He is a member of several professional associations, including the Medical Society of Basel, the FMH, the Swiss Neurological Society, former president and honorary member of the Swiss Society for Clinical Neurophysiology, Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology (FAAN) and the European Academy of Neurology (FEAN).
