Kin Sing Stephen Lee

Kin Sing Stephen Lee is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at Michigan State University. His research focuses on understanding how dietary lipids influence human health and responses to environmental toxicants, particularly through omega-3/omega-6 lipid metabolites.

Education:

• Ph.D. from Michigan State University
• Postdoctoral training at University of California, Davis

Research interests center on molecular mechanisms linking dietary lipid ratios to human diseases. The Lee lab designs lipid epoxide mimics and identifies lipid mediators as disease biomarkers, aiming to improve health through mechanistic insights into lipid biology. Key areas include cancer, inflammation, and environmental toxicology.

Laboratory activities emphasize synthetic chemistry of lipid epoxides and targeted metabolic profiling for biomarker discovery. Current projects focus on translating lipidomic findings into clinical applications.
