Academic biography
Oskar Jenni attended the medical schools at the Universities of Zurich (Switzerland) and Stellenbosch (South Africa) from 1987 to 1994. In 1995, he received a doctorate from the Medical Faculty of the University of Zurich for his thesis, entitled Effect of nursing in the head elevated tilt position (15 degrees) on the incidence of bradycardic and hypoxemic episodes in preterm infants. Until his appointment as a Swiss board licensed pediatrician in 2002, Oskar Jenni worked at the Neonatology Clinic at the University Hospital Zurich and at the intensive care unit and the pulmonology, neurology, and growth and development departments at the University Children’s Hospital Zurich. During this period he was also a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of Zurich. Between 2002 and 2004, Oskar Jenni was a Research Fellow at the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University in Providence (RI, USA) with a research focus on sleep behavior in adolescence. At the same time, he was a Clinical Fellow in Developmental Pediatrics at the Children’s Neurodevelopment Center (CNDC) at Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence (RI, USA). Since 2010, he has been a Swiss board licensed developmental pediatrician and sleep specialist.

In 2005, Oskar Jenni succeeded Remo H. Largo as head of the Child Development Center (Division of Developmental Pediatrics) at the University Children’s Hospital Zurich. Since 2011, he has co-managed the Child Development Center (CDC) together with Prof. Bea Latal. The CDC provides a comprehensive clinical service for children with developmental and behavioral disorders. The Center is the largest of its kind in Switzerland. Children with developmental disabilities are cared for by an interdisciplinary team of pediatricians, psychologists, speech therapists, and special-needs educators.

Oskar Jenni completed his habilitation thesis in 2007 at the Medical Faculty of the University of Zurich, entitled Sleep-Wake-Regulation during Child Development: Implications for Behavioral Disorders. After six years as a private lecturer in development pediatrics, Oskar Jenni was appointed Adjunct Professor in 2013 and appointed Associate Professor for Developmental Pediatrics at the University of Zurich in 2020.

Work
Oskar Jenni’s research focuses on the motor, cognitive, and social development of healthy and at-risk children. Jenni’s work includes over 200 publications in academic journals and books. His current research focus lies within the Zurich Longitudinal Studies (ZLS),[3] which are among the most important long-term studies on children’s development ever collected. The ZLS has assessed all essential aspects of development such as growth, motor skills, cognition, language, and social behavior in more than 1,000 healthy children over two successive generations since 1954.

In addition to his teaching and research assignments at the University of Zurich, Oskar Jenni is responsible for the Basic Course in Developmental Pediatrics at the University Children’s Hospital Zurich, which is compulsory for pediatric residents and fellows. He also directs the Certificate and Diploma of Advanced Studies (CAS/DAS) in Developmental Pediatrics at the University of Zurich. Furthermore, he teaches as a lecturer at the Intercantonal University of Teacher Education in Special Needs (HfH) and at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW).

The Academy for the Child Giedion Risch, co-founded by Oskar Jenni in 2018,[4] is committed to a greater appreciation of the diversity of children. The goal of the Academy is to bring together findings from interdisciplinary research about children in a network with experts from various scientific disciplines and to use this interdisciplinary knowledge base in a range of contexts, for example in the “Kosmos Kind” lecture cycle.[5]

The Think Tank for the Child, initiated in 2019, plays a central role in the interdisciplinary discourse of the Academy [6]: The members of the Think Tank exchange information regularly  on the latest findings from their specialist areas, which include psychology, educational science, philosophy, economics, anthropology, developmental psychology, and pediatrics, and are writing a White Paper about Childhood.

Awards
In 1998, Oskar Jenni received the Research Award of the European Society for Paediatric Intensive Care and Neonatology, endowed with 10,000 DM. He also won the Poster Prize of the Swiss Society for Paediatrics in 2002 and in the same year, the Young Scientist Award of the European Society for Sleep Research (ESRS), endowed with 10,000 euros. In 2017, Oskar won the Julius Springer Prize for an outstanding lead article on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in the scientific journal Monatsschrift für Kinderheilkunde. Furthermore, Oskar Jenni was awarded the Fanconi Prize of the Swiss Society of Paediatrics in 2021, together with Bea Latal, for his achievements in pediatric and adolescent medicine and science.
