Ulrike Protzer

Prof. Dr. Ulrike Protzer serves as the Coordinator for Hepatitis research and Deputy Partner Site Speaker for Munich at the Technical University of Munich and Helmholtz Munich. Her work focuses on advancing understanding and treatment of hepatitis infections through specialized research infrastructure.

Dr. Protzer specializes in hepatitis research with particular focus on:

• Cellular immune responses in acute and chronic hepatitis
• Development of new drugs against hepatitis B and D infections
• Standardized immunomonitoring under biosafety level 3 conditions
• Immune cell sorting and genotypic analysis

Her research requires specialized laboratory facilities capable of handling infectious materials safely while maintaining rigorous scientific standards for immune response analysis. This work bridges clinical applications with fundamental immunological research to address significant public health challenges posed by hepatitis viruses.

As part of the Munich research consortium, Dr. Protzer leads initiatives in immune monitoring and cell sorting within the hepatitis research program, collaborating with various research groups to advance understanding of viral hepatitis pathogenesis and immune responses. Her position as Coordinator indicates substantial leadership responsibilities within the hepatitis research framework at both Helmholtz Munich and Technical University of Munich.
