Kelly Mrachek

Kelly Mrachek is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin, where she conducts interdisciplinary research bridging neuropathology and neuro-oncology with clinical radiology applications.

Her research focuses on brain tumor pathology, particularly pituitary adenomas, glioblastoma, and meningiomas, utilizing molecular diagnostics and advanced neuroimaging techniques. Key interests include growth hormone-secreting tumors, IDH-mutant gliomas, and the integration of MRI volumetrics with molecular markers to improve tumor classification and treatment strategies. This work emphasizes translational approaches to enhance diagnostic precision in neuro-oncology.

Analysis of her publication record reveals strong trends in neuroimaging-pathology integration, with recurring themes including MRI-based predictive modeling for tumor progression, molecular subtyping of gliomas, and targeted therapies for CNS tumors. Her research consistently bridges laboratory findings with clinical applications to address diagnostic challenges in complex brain pathologies.
