Experience

Dr. Torsten Zuberbier's outstanding professional and research career has left an indelible mark on the medical management of allergic diseases. The expert's healthcare competencies and prestige have enabled him to serve for almost two decades as President of the Foundation of the European Center for Allergy Research.  

He also holds the main management positions at the Institute for Allergy Research at the Charité Berlin University and at the Fraunhofer Institute for Translational Medicine and Pharmacology, together with Professor Marcus Maurer.   

On the other hand, his clinical work focuses on Urticaria, Neurodermatitis, Respiratory and Food Allergies and Allergic Rhinitis. However, his research and experimental work has been devoted to Mast Cell Biology, Mastocytosis and Atopic Dermatitis. Specifically, his studies have delved into the interaction of these immune cells with tissue-type cells. In this way, through a three-dimensional skin model, he has examined the close relationship between these processes and the development of other pathologies such as Eczema and Epidermal Neoplasia.  

In this regard, this expert has numerous academic articles in scientific journals of global impact. He is Deputy Editor of the Journal of the German Dermatological Society and a member of the Advisory Board of the Allergo Journal. In these publications, the specialist has also disclosed his views on the relevance of Translational Medicine and the importance of accelerating the applied integration of the latest scientific knowledge.  

In addition to this work, Dr. Zuberbier is President of the Global Allergy and Asthma Network of Excellence (GA²LEN), initiated by the European Union. He has also been Director General of the Dermatology, Venereology and Allergology Clinic of the Charité and has led the Allergie-Centrum-Charité of the Berlin-Mitte Dermatology Clinic.
