Patricia Bartsch is a Researcher at the Institute of Medical Microbiology, Virology and Hygiene within the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Hamburg. She specializes in Medical Microbiology and Immunology, focusing on host-pathogen interactions, T-cell biology, and autoimmune processes triggered by infections. Her work bridges clinical diagnostics with translational research, particularly in understanding bacterial pathogenesis mechanisms and immunological responses in chronic infections.

Key research areas include:

• Staphylococcus species pathogenesis
• T-cell plasticity and memory mechanisms
• Autoimmune renal disease amplification
• Host defense mechanisms against bacterial infections
