Research interests
Dr. Klein earned his degrees in physics and biology at the Universität Regensburg, Germany. During his studies, he discovered small molecule biomarkers indicating the risk of ketosis in dairy cows as well as human liver and kidney diseases. Dr. Klein held postdoctoral positions at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich and the University of Calgary, and a faculty position at The Ohio State University, before joining McGill’s Department of Animal Science.
Dr. Klein is employing machine learning and artificial intelligence approaches for the analysis of various big data sources, including metabolomics data. The goal of these analyses is predicting disease development and other parameters in (production) animals, especially dairy cows, and humans. A further research interest is the application of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of biofluids for identifying disease biomarkers.
