Rate My Professor Markus Bosmann

Markus Bosmann, MD, serves as Associate Professor in the section of Pulmonary, Allergy, Sleep & Critical Care Medicine and Associate Professor in the Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine. He obtained his medical degree from Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany, followed by a fellowship at the University of Michigan. In his current roles at the Medicine faculty, Dr. Bosmann directs the Affinity Research Collaborative on Respiratory Pathogens: COVID-19 and Beyond and serves as an Investigator at the National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories. He holds memberships in the Pulmonary Center, Evans Center for Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research, and Genome Science Institute. As a certified immunologist by the German Society for Immunology, he educates and mentors graduate students in Graduate Medical Sciences.

Dr. Bosmann's research focuses on pulmonary disorders and their connections to innate immunity, host-pathogen interactions, and inflammation, particularly lung injury from bacterial pneumonia, sepsis, and colitis. His laboratory utilizes genetic mouse models and molecular techniques to investigate these processes. He has received NIH R01 grants, including one for new genetic models for C5a receptors in 2018 and another for molecular pathomechanisms of Legionellosis in 2023. Key publications include The inflammatory response in sepsis (Trends in Immunology, 2013), Extracellular histones are essential effectors of C5aR- and C5L2-mediated tissue damage and inflammation in acute lung injury (The FASEB Journal, 2013), Protein-based Therapies for Acute Lung Injury: Targeting Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (2014), and Proton-Activated Chloride Channel 1 (PACC1) is essential for innate host defense against bacterial sepsis (bioRxiv, 2026). His work has garnered over 5,500 citations on Google Scholar, impacting fields of immunology, infectiology, and lung biology.
