Ronald Krauss, MD

Professor in Residence
Pediatrics

Dr. Krauss' research program focuses on plasma lipoprotein metabolism and related traits that influence risk for coronary artery disease. His laboratory developed and applied methodology that led to the discovery of a common genetically-influenced atherogenic lipoprotein phenotype that underlies cardiovascular disease risk in patients with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. A major current research emphasis has been the identification of genetic determinants of the wide range of inter-individual variability in phenotypic and clinical response to statin treatment.

Medicine

Our translational human microbiome research program focuses on gastrointestinal and airway microbiome interactions with host immunity that promote or prevent development/maintenance of chronic inflammatory disease. Taking a "populations to molecules" approach we leverage the microbiome to determine the origins of childhood allergy and asthma and the early life molecular and cellular drivers of immune dysfunction that lead to childhood disease development.
