Overview

Klaus Klumpp is affiliated with Janssen in Belgium and has contributed extensively to the fields of medicine and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Their research spans multiple subfields, including infectious diseases, molecular biology, epidemiology, oncology, and hepatology.

The scientist's work encompasses several key topics, notably SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 research, COVID-19 clinical research studies, ubiquitin and proteasome pathways, hepatitis B virus studies, hepatitis C virus research, Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia detection and treatment, and animal virus infections studies.

Klumpp has published numerous papers, with recent notable publications including:

  • Eicosanoid signalling blockade protects middle-aged mice from severe COVID-19 (2022, Nature)
  • Eicosanoid signaling as a therapeutic target in middle-aged mice with severe COVID-19 (2021, bioRxiv - Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • First-in-human experience using RBS2418, an oral ENPP1 inhibitor within an expanded access protocol in combination with pembrolizumab in a patient with metastatic adrenal cancer (2022, Journal of Clinical Oncology)
  • Identification of a new class of HBV capsid assembly modulator (2021, Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters)
  • Oxadiazepinone HBV capsid assembly modulators (2021, Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters)

The scientist frequently publishes in journals such as the Journal of Clinical Oncology, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, Nature, and PLoS Pathogens.

Klumpp collaborates often with several co-authors, including:

  • Kevin Wilhelmsen
  • Jian Zheng
  • Fred Aswad
  • Justin Rebo
  • David K. Meyerholz

The collective research efforts explore therapeutic avenues and molecular mechanisms particularly relevant to infectious diseases and oncology. Their publications show a focus on viral infections and immune response modulation, aligning closely with investigations into COVID-19 and hepatitis viruses.
