Overview

Klaus Weber was affiliated with the Max Planck Society in Germany. Their research spanned multiple fields related to biology, neuroscience, and infectious diseases.

The scientist published papers in a variety of venues, including:

  • Journal of Comparative Pathology (2 publications)
  • Science (1 publication)
  • Hämostaseologie (1 publication)
  • Tierärztliche Praxis Ausgabe K Kleintiere / Heimtiere (1 publication)
  • Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology (1 publication)

Their work covered topics such as circadian rhythm and melatonin, sleep and wakefulness research, neuroscience of respiration and sleep, virus-based gene therapy research, parvovirus B19 infection studies, animal virus infections studies, and digital imaging for blood diseases.

Frequent coauthors included Karin A. Ziegler, Andrea Ahles, Anne Dueck, Dena Esfandyari, and P. Pichler, each collaborating on at least one publication.

The scientist's recent publications included:

  • "Immune-mediated denervation of the pineal gland underlies sleep disturbance in cardiac disease," 2023, Science
  • "Compassionate use of osocimab in preventing thrombotic complications without incremental bleeding: a case report," 2025, Hämostaseologie
  • "Vergleich von 8 kommerziellen Schnelltests zum Nachweis von Antigens des kaninen Parvovirus im Kot von Hunden," 2021, Tierärztliche Praxis Ausgabe K Kleintiere / Heimtiere
  • "Histological lesions in African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis) used in endocrine disruption studies," 2023, Journal of Comparative Pathology
  • "Toxoplasmosis in non-human primates: A case report in an old-world monkey (Cymonolgus macaque)," 2025, Journal of Comparative Pathology

Their research contributed to the understanding of endocrine and autonomic systems, cognitive neuroscience, genetics, infectious diseases, and animal science and zoology. These subfields of study were linked to their publication output and research focus.
