In 1894 Busse and Abraham Buschke described the infectious disease cryptococcosis , which is mainly caused by the fungus Cryptococcus neoformans . Therefore, cryptococcosis was called Busse-Buschke disease. Busse completed his habilitation in 1896. From 1904 he worked as a professor of pathology at the Medical Academy in Poznan . From 1911 he worked as a professor of pathology and dean of the pathological institute at the University of Zurich . Alexis Carrel succeeded in growing cells on a glass slide in 1912 ; Busse used this method to examine inflammatory processes and document them photographically.

Paul Busse-Grawitz , a German-Argentine doctor, was a son of Busses from his first marriage to the daughter of his university professor Paul Grawitz.
