Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Cancer Research
Dr. Kratz is a physician-scientist at the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center. He serves at the lead for targeted therapeutics for first in human early phase clinical trials and co-chair of the UW Precision Medicine and Molecular Tumor Board. In the laboratory, he studies hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancer organotypic models from patient-derived tissues. He is interested in accuracy of organoid modeling and mechanisms of adaptive resistance mediated through key transcriptional effectors. His work includes platform technologies including next-generation sequencing of cancer models, patient-derived model generation (both organoids and xenografts), and a rapid autopsy program.
His research program is integrated with the Veterans Health Association for his early career development. He serves as the lead for gastrointestinal oncology with the VA’s National Precision Oncology Program and National Gastroenterology and Hepatology Program Liver Disease Field Advisory Board.
