معرفی
Jason E. Lee, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor and CPRIT Scholar in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Baylor College of Medicine. His research focuses on understanding how organelle interactions and cellular organization drive disease processes, particularly in cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. He holds a BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Hawaii, a PhD in Cell Biology from New York Medical College, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
Research interests include endoplasmic reticulum dynamics, mitochondrial division, and the role of membrane-less organelles in cellular pathways. His work employs advanced imaging and biochemical techniques to study organelle networks' spatiotemporal regulation.
