Lisa Kratz Biography :

Dr. Lisa Kratz is Director of the Biochemical Genetics Laboratory at Kennedy Krieger Institute and is also a research associate in Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

Biographical Sketch:

Dr. Kratz received her B.A. from Western Maryland College in 1985 and her Ph.D. in Human Genetics from University of Maryland at Baltimore in 1989. She completed a post-doctoral fellowship in biochemical genetics at University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in 1991 and was assistant director of the Biochemical Diseases Detection Laboratory at Yale University from 1991 - 1993. In 1993, Dr. Kratz was certified by the American Board of Medical Genetics in Biochemical Genetics. She has been with the Kennedy Krieger Institute since 1993. Dr. Kratz is a member of the American Society of Human Genetics and the Society For Inherited Metabolic Disorders.

Research Summary:

Dr. Kratz’s interests focus on the diagnosis of certain inborn errors of metabolism and clinical research related to these disorders. One area of interest involves disorders of cholesterol biosynthesis including Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome, X-Linked Dominant Conradi Hünermann Syndrome, CHILD sequence, and Lathosterolosis. Currently, she is participating in a multi-center study organized by the Foundation For Blood Research to evaluate the usefulness of maternal serum triple screen analysis in identifying pregnancies at increased risk for Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome. Other areas of interest include disorders of creatine synthesis and transport, Barth syndrome, and Mevalonate Kinase deficiency.
