Scientific contribution
At first Rasp undertook experimental work with the active sequencing of the ovinal inter-alpha trypsin inhibitor. Later he focussed on subjects in allergology and rhinology. A focal point was the analysis of local nasal fluid and tissue, mainly regarding inflammation mechanisms, producing the majority of his scientific publications. More, common papers came from work with his team. Rasp's habilitation addressed inflammation parameters of local medical diagnosis of the immune system for the dried nasal mucus. In the context of clinical activities in Munich and Stuttgart Rasp took part in a research network for paraglioms under Hartmut Neumann, Freiburg. In Salzburg Rasp expanded the neuro-otological work group.
