Biography
Dr. Lee is a dermatologist and immunologist who uses molecular and bioinformatic approaches at the site of disease to uncover mechanisms regulating human immunity as they relate to cancer, infections, and autoimmunity. Dr. Lee recently led her research team from John Wayne Cancer Institute with collaborators at the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation and JPL NASA to publish the first report of the human breast ductal microbiome in healthy subjects versus breast cancer survivors. Her innovative research in metastatic melanoma has shown that the immune system plays a key role in long-term survival, long before the advent of checkpoint blockade.
