Kaitlyn Kormanik Kaitlyn Kormanik
23-year-old Graduate Student Living Well with PKU

Kaitlyn is a PhD candidate in genetics at the University of Pittsburgh. Ironically, she works in a research lab at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UMPC that is run by metabolic specialist Dr. Gerard Vockley, the same specialist who oversees her care for PKU. Kaitlyn is living well with PKU as a young adult. She follows a low protein diet and uses formula. She is also in the clinical trial for an investigational injectable drug, PEG-PAL.

Kaitlyn has been seeing dietitian Nicole Payne and the staff at the PKU Clinic at the Children’s Hospital for over 10 years. Her parents were very involved in her care growing up and she had a great support group of family and friends. They encouraged her to be involved in social activities and to accept her condition. Kaitlyn feels that taking charge of her diet in high school helped her to make a smooth transition into college.
