Current Laboratory Staff
Lori Kreisman
Lori grew up in the suburbs of St. Louis, Missouri, graduating from Ladue Horton Watkins High School and the St. Louis Conservatory of Music. She attended Knox College in Galesburg, IL, studying biochemistry and music, where her honors thesis was on mRNA regulation in plant cells with Mark Brodl. She worked as a research associate at Washington University Medical School in the Dept. of Ophthalmology, and then attended graduate school at Harvard University Medical School where she did her thesis with Thomas Livingston Benjamin and Steven LeBlanc, curator of the Peabody Museum. Lori has been at Case since 2005 where her main interest is asking biochemistry questions of various immunological problems. Outside of the lab she is a busy mom of a figure skater, raiser and lover of cocker spaniels, and is still interested in music as well as photography. She both hates and loves arguing about politics, and is a moderately-competent baker and voracious reader.
