This article deals with the physician Klaus Kayser. For the politician see Klaus Kaiser .

Klaus Kayser (* 1940 in Berlin ) is a German physician and scientist who works as a non-fiction author in the fields of medicine, pathology , image analysis , lectin histochemistry , electronic communication , computer ethics and also turns to fiction .

Life

Kayser studied in Heidelberg physics and medicine , doctorate then to Dr. rer. nat. and became Professor of Pathology and Epidemiology . He was awarded several honorary doctorates . He founded and headed the Regional Cancer Registry North Baden for five years, which was based on the regional merger of all pathological institutes active in this region and which ceased its work after the introduction of the new data protection regulations . The results of the cancer registry with regard to the incidence and mortality of the stomach and colon-rectal cancer were indicative for health care . Kayser specializes in the field of pulmonary pathology and is an internationally recognized expert in the field of histological image analysis. He introduced the mathematical approach of graph theory to image analysis and established the term structural entropy, a unit of measurement that is suitable for the quantification of cellular heterogeneity in tumors, the immune response to malignant tumor growth, for the detection of precancerous lesions and tissue restructuring. Together with Hans-Joachim Gabius, he examined the clinical importance of lectin histochemistry and pointed out the importance of galectins in embryogenesis and for the prognosis of patients with bronchial carcinoma . He is referred to as one of the founders of telepathology in Europe. After the worldwide introduction of the Internet, he was actively involved in the medical care of the Solomon Islands with the help of the iPATH forum and created the worldwide operating virtual institute for pathology (Virtual International Pathology Institute, also VIPI). Under his leadership, the first automatic measuring system for immunohistochemically stained sections (EAMUS), accessible via the Internet, was created . He pioneered the introduction of telemedicine expert and training systems in Algeria , Armenia , Georgia , Cambodia and Mongolia . He founded the first conference on telepathology, the European Conference on Telepathology, in Heidelberg in 1992, which was continued at two-yearly intervals until the last time in 2018 and whose scientific and social development is described in the book Travels on Conferences .

In 1995 he founded the first medical, exclusively electronically published, scientific journal Electronic Journal of Pathology and Histology . This resulted in his new journal The Journal of Diagnostic Pathology, equipped with innovative electronic tools . This is an open scientific electronic communication system with access to a closed forum , an open access journal , a repository of Natural and Synthetic Mineral Fibers affecting Man , a collective of common and rare lung diseases, as well as special forms of publication of scientific articles such as How do I. diagnose or Interactive publication . The Journal of Diagnostic Pathology is currently the only scientific journal that publishes virtual slides. This journal is currently discussing the likely development of IT awareness and IT ethics.

In 2012, Kayser was awarded the Horst Joachim Rheindorf Literature Prize for his fictional work Terror im T-Team . In addition, philosophically oriented books such as Zeitgedanken and Mirror Thinking , Residual Risk or the Sacred Cows of the Nation or Medicine and Environment were created . In 2014 he published a lyrical self-portrait with Erlebtes Erleben . Questions of virtual reality in connection with the development of social networks are described in a humorous way in the novel Beyond Immortality . Since 2017, Kayser has been chairman of the Association of German-Language Authors (IGdA).

Klaus Kayser has been a private lecturer ( neurology and psychiatry ) Dr. med. Maria-Consuelo Gatchalian-Kayser is married, has two children who have also become doctors and has been in retirement since 2005.
