Nils Wetzstein
Nils Wetzstein is a consultant for infectious diseases at University Hospital Frankfurt (UHF). He has a keen interest in mycobacterial diseases and his research is primarily focussed on NTM infections. The working group of mycobacterial diseases at UHF uses a variety of bacteriological, epidemiological and bioinformatical methods to improve clinical management and patient care for MTB and NTM infected patients.
