معرفی
Katie Lee is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow and PhD student affiliated with the Dermatology Research Centre at the University of Queensland (UQ), within the Frazer Institute. Her work focuses on melanoma genetics, dermatological imaging techniques (e.g., confocal microscopy and dermoscopy), and the interplay between genetic risk factors and environmental influences in skin cancer development. She collaborates extensively with researchers in Australia and internationally, contributing to studies on melanoma pathogenesis, precision prevention strategies, and clinical diagnostic innovations.
Her research interests span molecular dermatology, genetic epidemiology, and translational research. Notable projects include analyzing melanoma variants in high-risk cohorts, developing machine learning tools for skin lesion classification, and investigating the role of genes like MC1R and CDKN2A in melanoma risk. Lee’s work also explores teledermatology and total body photography as diagnostic aids.
Lee has published widely in journals such as Journal of Investigative Dermatology, Frontiers in Medicine, and Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research, reflecting her expertise in melanoma genetics, skin imaging technologies, and clinical dermatology. Her contributions highlight advancements in understanding naevus-melanoma relationships, biomarker detection, and the genetic basis of skin pigmentation disorders.
