Dr. Lee has a broad background in microbiology, genetics, and immunology with specific expertise in biofilms and respiratory microbiome analyses. His Ph.D. studies in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Yonsei University in South Korea were focused on characterizing genetics and molecular determinants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa mono- and dual-species biofilms. During his postdoctoral work at the University of Northern Arizona, Dr. Lee investigated the effects of microbial communities on chronic respiratory disease in the upper and lower respiratory tracts. Specifically, the focus of this investigation was to characterize the relationships between the disease and bacterial-fungal interactions.
As the Research Assistant Professor and Co-Director of the TGen Integrated Microbiomics Center, Dr. Lee has focused on advancing microbiology, with a particular emphasis on the human microbiome and its intricate role in health and disease, including various cancers and neurological diseases.
