Dr. Kaytlin Krutsch is a mother, researcher, and the director of the InfantRisk Center at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. Her research specializes in the transfer of medications into breast milk, with a commitment to translating this knowledge into practical healthcare solutions. Dr. Krutsch believes mothers deserve more: better answers to their medication questions, healthcare experiences that foster respect, and encouragement that their health is equally as important as their child’s. At the InfantRisk Center, her goal is to listen to mothers' concerns, design research that addresses their questions, and create a comprehensive information cycle that empowers families.

In addition to her research, Dr. Krutsch co-authors Hale’s Medications and Mothers’ Milk with Dr. Thomas Hale, now in its twenty-first edition. She advises the Food and Drug Administration, the Human Milk Banking Association of Northern America, and pharmaceutical industry on lactation pharmacology and lactation research.
