Ulrike Protzer studied human medicine at the University of Erlangen from 1982 to 1988 with stays in Basel and Durban . In 1989 she did her doctorate in Erlangen with a thesis on the causes and frequency of postoperative nausea . After completing her clinical training as a specialist in internal medicine with a focus on gastroenterology ( hepatology ) and infectious diseases , she went to the Center for Molecular Medicine at the University of Heidelberg as a postdoc in 1996 to devote herself to basic research and to do her habilitation in virology in 2000. In her habilitation thesis she dealt with the virus-host interaction of the hepatitis B viruses. She then headed a research group here for two more years. Parallel to leading a junior research group at the Center for Molecular Medicine at the University of Cologne from 2002 to 2007, she also qualified as a specialist in microbiology , virology and infection epidemiology in 2005 .

At the end of 2007 she was appointed director of the Institute for Virology at the Technical University of Munich and the Helmholtz Zentrum München , which she has been heading since then. Here, too, her research focus is on basic research in the field of chronic viral infections.
