Patrick M. Brunner, MD

For an appointment concerning Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (AKA CTCL - a rare type of cancer that manifests in white blood cells and then begins to attack the skin), kindly call the office at 212-241-9728.

Patrick Brunner, MD, is Associate Professor of Dermatology and Director of the Cutaneous Lymphoma Clinic and sees patients at the Kimberly and Eric J. Waldman Melanoma and Skin Cancer Center.

Dr. Brunner obtained his MD 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. Afterwards, 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. Dr. Brunner joined the Kimberly and Eric J. Waldman Department of Dermatology in 2021.

As a clinician scientist with a strong interest in skin immunology, he is seeing patients suffering from primary cutaneous immune cell malignancies, and also has a general interest in chronic inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, hidradenitis and alopecia areata. His research is aimed at a better understanding of the tumor immunobiology in cutaneous lymphomas, and to develop better treatment modalities for this patient population.
