Biography
Leo Tsz On LEE received his Bachelor's degree from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong in 1997 and Ph.D. from Department of Zoology, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong in 2004.
Research Interest
Current research interests include: (1) the physiological role of class B1 GPCR in reproduction; (2) the role of GPCR dimerization in hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad (HPG) axis; and (3) the potential role of GPCR dimerization in cancer pathogenesis and progression. Those researches involve using high throughput system in cell signaling studies and using animal models, such as transgenic mice, in physiology studies.
