Dr. Patrick Brunner obtained his medical degree from the Medical University of Vienna, Austria. He completed his residency in Dermatology at the Department of Dermatology at the Medical University of Vienna (General Hospital Vienna), under the mentorship of Dr. Georg Stingl. Thereafter, Dr. Brunner joined the Laboratory for Investigative Dermatology at The Rockefeller University in New York, obtaining a master’s degree in clinical and translational sciences, and performed research on atopic dermatitis under the mentorship of Drs. Emma Guttman and James G. Krueger. In 2018, he returned to Vienna to build a research group focusing on cutaneous immunobiology of chronic inflammatory skin diseases and primary cutaneous lymphomas, to better understand how individual immune cells orchestrate skin inflammation in benign and malignant conditions. In 2021, he joined the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai as Associate Professor of Dermatology and Director of the Cutaneous Lymphoma Clinic at The Kimberly and Eric J. Waldman Department of Dermatology.

As a clinician scientist with a strong interest in skin immunology, Dr. Brunner treats patients suffering from primary cutaneous immune cell malignancies as well as has a general interest in chronic inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, hidradenitis, and alopecia areata. His research aims to better understand the tumor immunobiology in cutaneous lymphomas and develop better treatment modalities for this patient population.
