Overview Dr. Lee is a plastic surgeon and biomedical engineer. His professional research interests have focused on the effects of physical forces on tissue injury and repair, therapeutic control of scar formation, molecular engineering of synthetic chaperones, and reconstructive surgery.
Dr. Lee’s laboratory was the first to report a clinically applicable method to seal disrupted cell membranes resulting in a now widely validated new class of trauma therapeutics that for first time off promise to restore viability damaged tissue following severe injury such as motor vehicle accidents and military trauma. Ongoing research focuses on development synthetic multiblock copolymer synthetic chaperones to restore function to denatured and aggregated proteins which has important implications in tissue preservation and thermal trauma.
