He is the author of numerous publications in both national and international trade press and a frequent speaker and seminar leader. Prof. Schneider is married and has three children.

His work focuses on the diagnosis and therapy of atherosclerosis (such as coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease), congestive heart failure, high blood pressure and cardiac arrhythmia. These two objectives are pursued: improving the quality of life and improving the individual prognosis of the patients.

An intense, risk factor-modulating treatment is used to improve the prognosis of patients with with vascular diseases (“atherosclerosis cure”) which should stop the atherosclerosis process. Another focus is the integrative, personalised preventive medicine based on scientific data. This multidisciplinary approach develops personalised treatment concepts based on individual patient characteristics.
