Christoph Klein

Christoph is a scientist turned software engineer who loves bridging the gap between software and the life sciences. His current work focuses on developing the scientific pipelines that enable our biology and machine learning teams at insitro.

Previously at Myriad Genetics and Counsyl, Christoph led engineering teams charged with the clinical interpretation of variants detected in patients. These teams develop the pipelines that filter thousands of variants per sample down to the few that cause rare diseases, predispose you to elevated cancer risks or challenge the health of your pregnancy.

Christoph holds a Ph.D. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from Vanderbilt where he studied tribology using molecular dynamics and built open source tools to enable large scale screening studies.

Outside of work, Christoph enjoys biking, surfing, reading and spending as much time outside as possible with his partner and his pupper, Oscar.
