Dr. Isaac Lee is an Assistant Professor and Nancy and Peter Meinig Family Investigator in the Life Sciences at Cornell University's Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering. He leads the Lee Lab, focusing on interdisciplinary research at the intersection of engineering, biology, and medicine to advance human health.
- Education: B.S. (Summa Cum Laude) in Chemical Engineering from Seoul National University (2006), M.S. in Pharmacy (2008), Ph.D. in Bioengineering from Johns Hopkins University (2014), and postdoctoral training at Harvard University's Wyss Institute and Boston University (2019).
Research Interests include microfluidics, tissue engineering, lymphatic biology, cancer biology, and regenerative medicine. His lab develops 3D organ-on-chip systems to study lymphatic dysfunction, cancer metastasis, and immune diseases, with a focus on mechanistic insights from biological and mechanical cues.
His recent articles highlight advancements in lymphatic valve dysfunction modeling, glymphatic system simulations, and biomaterials for cancer metastasis studies. Dr. Lee has received prestigious awards such as the NSF Career Award (2024) and the Tien Excellence in Teaching Award (2023).
He teaches core biomedical engineering courses like Introduction to Biomedical Engineering and Cancer and Immuno-Engineering. His lab collaborates on projects like targeting protein mechanisms in lymphedema and advancing biomaterials for therapeutic applications.
