Gordon Klein, a clinical professor of orthopedic surgery at the University of Texas Medical Branch, is a member of the Bone & Mineral Metabolism section of F1000Prime.

In this video interview, Professor Klein tells us about his research interest of the last 30 years – the study of the effect of diseases on human bones. To this end, Professor Klein has used burns as a model to look at the pathophysiology of bone loss at the cellular and molecular level, and to develop novel therapies for bone loss related to a variety of chronic inflammatory diseases and stresses.

Professor Klein’s most recent article recommendations, for papers relating to bone strength and development in children and adolescents, can be read here and here.
