Christian Thomas Brandt

Christian Thomas Brandt is a Clinical Professor at the Department of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, specializing in Internal Medicine with a focus on infection medicine. His research centers on neuroinfections and their clinical manifestations, particularly Lyme neuroborreliosis and related neurological complications.

Dr. Brandt's research interests include:

• Neuroinfections and their neurological complications
• Lyme neuroborreliosis diagnosis and treatment
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections and biofilm formation
• Phage therapy as an alternative to antibiotics
• Biomarkers for infectious diseases
• Sensorineural hearing loss in infectious conditions

His recent publication record demonstrates a strong clinical research focus, with multiple 2024 papers examining diagnostic approaches for neuroinfectious diseases. Dr. Brandt frequently collaborates across disciplines, particularly with otorhinolaryngology researchers like Per Cayé-Thomasen on hearing-related aspects of neuroinfections. His work bridges laboratory research on bacterial pathogens with direct clinical applications for patient care.

Key scientific contributions include:

• Research on phage therapy for prosthetic joint infections
• Studies on Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm evolution under phage pressure
• Investigations into MRI prediction of hearing loss in neuroinfections
• Analysis of pulmonary complications following brain abscess
• Diagnostic biomarker research for Lyme neuroborreliosis

Dr. Brandt maintains an active laboratory or research group focused on the clinical applications of infection medicine research, with particular emphasis on improving diagnostic accuracy and developing alternative treatment strategies for antibiotic-resistant infections.
