About
Lisa Croen is a leading epidemiologist whose research focuses on the intersection of genetics, environment, and aging, with a particular emphasis on autism spectrum disorders. She is best known for her pivotal role in the Kaiser Permanente Research Program on Genes, Environment, and Health (RPGEH), where she has made groundbreaking contributions to large-scale genomic research. Her most cited work, "Automated Assay of Telomere Length Measurement and Informatics for 100,000 Subjects in the GERA Cohort" (2015, 137 citations), established a high-throughput method for analyzing telomere length—a key biomarker of aging—in over 110,000 individuals. This study not only advanced our understanding of cellular aging but also demonstrated the power of integrating genomic data with electronic health records. Croen’s research has significantly shaped the field of genetic epidemiology, providing critical insights into how environmental exposures and genetic factors interact to influence health outcomes. Her work on the GERA cohort remains a cornerstone for studies on aging, chronic disease, and neurodevelopmental conditions, cementing her reputation as a pioneer in population-based genomic research.
