Patricia Geissler's thesis on the bryological vegetation of Alpine watercourses quickly established her excellence as a scientist and bryologist. As curator at the Geneva Botanical Garden, she was the custodian of two of the world's major bryological collections, the Hedwig-Schwägrichen herbarium and the Stephani herbarium.
Aside from her curatorial duties, she worked on her monograph of Marchesinia (Hepatics, Lejeuneaceae), as well as on the genus Grimmia.
