During the academic year 1997/1998 he was a research fellow in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management (ESPM) at the University of California, Berkeley. After that, he was appointed Assistant Professor of Ethics in the Biosciences and Biotechnology at the University of Basel. In 2001, he was elected by the Swiss government president of the Swiss National Advisory Commission on Biomedical Ethics , which was a public advisory role for the parliament and the government. He held this office until 2009 when he accepted a professorship for Theory and Ethics in the Biosciences in Lübeck.

His doctoral degree in philosophy he received 1995 from the Technical University of Darmstadt with a book on what biologists ‘do’ (in practical and ethical terms) when they describe life (Leben Beschreiben. Über Handlungszusammenhänge in der Biologie). Supervisor was Prof. Gernot Böhme. During this time, he worked as a lecturer for environmental philosophy and bioethics in the research group of Werner Arber at the University of Basel. In 1996 he founded the Unit for Ethics in the Biosciences at the University of Basel, in collaboration with the fellow bioethicist Jackie Leach Scully . For his work on philosophical foundations of bioethics he received his venia legendi (Habilitation) for philosophy at the University of Basel in 2000 (Lebendiges Selbst - lebendige Andere. Ethik aus biomedizinischen und ökologischen Kontexten).

Christoph Rehmann-Sutter is the son of the sculptor Erwin Rehmann and the teacher Margrit Rehmann(-Hüsser). He was raised in Laufenburg (Switzerland) and went to school in Laufenburg and Aarau. He received a diploma in molecular biology from the Biocenter at the University of Basel in 1984. This was followed by a second training in philosophy and sociology (licentiate 1988) at the Universities of Basel and Freiburg im Breisgau.
