Research Group Philipp Bosshard, PD Dr. sc. nat.
The research group explores skin infections and pathogen-host interactions, advancing diagnostics and investigating the skin microbiome's role in inflammatory diseases like atopic dermatitis.
Our research activities focus on skin infections and pathogen-host-interactions. This comprises research on bacterial infections (e.g. syphilis and other sexually transmitted infections), fungal infections (e.g. dermatophytoses) and the human skin microbiome. Our interests among others are to develop and improve diagnostic tools for infections (e.g. PCR, serology, resistance testing), epidemiological studies and elucidating the role of the human skin microbiome in inflammatory skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis.
