Jaewoong Lee

Jaewoong Lee is an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Yale School of Medicine’s Department of Internal Medicine, with affiliations at the Yale Cancer Center, Cancer Signaling Networks Program, and Center of Molecular and Cellular Oncology. His research leverages genetic mouse models to uncover molecular targets in B-cell leukemia and lymphoma, focusing on B-cell receptor signaling, metabolic reprogramming, and leukemogenesis.

Research Interests: Dr. Lee’s work spans B-cell development, immune response dynamics, and therapeutic vulnerabilities in malignancies. Key areas include β-catenin degradation, lipid metabolism alterations, and optogenetic control of oncogenic pathways. His lab prioritizes translational insights with implications for targeted cancer therapies.

Publication Trends: Recent articles (2023–2025) emphasize signaling pathways in B-cell malignancies, with recurring themes in metabolic dysregulation, kinase feedback mechanisms, and novel targets like CEACAM1. Collaborative studies frequently appear in high-impact journals (e.g., Nature Communications, Blood).

Awards & Advising: No awards are listed in the provided data. Student advising details are unspecified, but the lab’s publication record suggests active collaboration with graduate researchers and postdoctoral fellows.

Lab & Teams: Dr. Lee is part of the Müschen Lab, which specializes in hematological malignancies. While no dedicated lab URL is provided, research outputs highlight integration with Yale’s shared resources in cancer modeling and molecular assays.
