Dirk H. Busch

Prof. Dr. med. Dirk H. Busch serves as Professor at the Institute for Medical Microbiology, Immunology and Hygiene, Technical University of Munich (TUM), and holds the position of Vice Speaker for Collaborative Research Center SFB 1054. His academic affiliation centers on TUM's medical research infrastructure in Munich, Germany.

His research specializes in Immunology with emphases on T cell developmental imprinting, polyclonal immune responses, and chronic infection dynamics. Through SFB 1054 Project B09, he investigates how early immune experiences shape long-term T cell functionality during persistent infections, bridging fundamental immunology with clinical applications in chronic disease management.

Prof. Busch maintains active leadership in SFB 1054's research governance while directing laboratory investigations at TUM's Institute for Medical Microbiology, Immunology and Hygiene. His work integrates advanced cellular tracking methodologies to decode immune memory formation in chronic inflammatory conditions.
