After graduating from the Dürer Gymnasium in Nuremberg, Schwab studied Medicine and obtained his doctorate in 1991 at the Institute for Toxicology and Pharmacology at the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen–Nuremberg. After gaining his license to practice medicine, he obtained board qualifications for pediatric and adolescent medicine in 1996 and in clinical pharmacology in 2000.[1]

He completed his habilitation in 2003 at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen. After a visiting professorship at the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis (Tennessee, USA) he took over the management of the Dr. Margarete Fischer-Bosch Institute of Clinical Pharmacology and the Chair of Clinical Pharmacology at the University of Tübingen, where he has also been a co-opted professor of the faculty of mathematical and natural science since 2015.[1]

His main research interests focus on pharmacological Genome Research and its importance for Personalized Medicine.[2] He is particularly interested in the application of new technologies in the context of pharmacogenomics including epigenetic[3] aspects in connection with cancer therapies[4] and immunosuppressants

Appointments as full professor for clinical pharmacology at the Medical University of Innsbruck, Austria (2006), as well as professor and chair of clinical pharmacology with simultaneous position as senior physician in the clinic at Karolinska University and Karolinska University Hospital, Sweden (2010), he declined. Since 2018 he is Adjunct Professor of the Departments of Clinical Pharmacology and Biochemistry at Yerevan State Medical University, Armenia.[1]
