Kyu Lee serves as an Endowed Assistant Professor of Health Decision Sciences at the University of Washington School of Pharmacy, with dual affiliations in the Department of Pharmacy and the CHOICE Institute (Comparative Health Outcomes, Policy, and Economics). Her expertise spans cost-effectiveness analysis, infectious disease modeling, and vaccine optimization using advanced simulation techniques for global health applications.
Her academic credentials include:
- PhD in Health Policy (Decision Science Track), Stanford University (2020)
- MS in Health Service and Research, University of Minnesota (2014)
- BS in Life Science, Pohang University of Science and Technology, South Korea (2012)
Dr. Lee's research integrates mathematical modeling with public health decision-making, focusing on forecasting disease burden in resource-limited settings. Her current projects analyze the impact of novel vaccine technologies (mRNA, cell-based) on respiratory infections like influenza and RSV, while prior work examined Hepatitis C epidemiology in China and post-pandemic immunity dynamics. She emphasizes methodological innovation in simulation modeling to address data scarcity in low-income contexts.
Her publication history reveals dual research trajectories: recent health decision science work complements earlier computational biophysics contributions (2010-2017) in molecular dynamics and semiconductor physics. Key themes include biomolecular simulation tools like CHARMM-GUI, ion channel modeling, and nanopore applications for DNA sequencing, demonstrating cross-disciplinary technical expertise despite apparent field divergence.
Dr. Lee actively collaborates through the CHOICE Institute's health economics framework, though specific grant details or student mentorship information remains unreported in available sources. Her laboratory work centers on developing mathematical models for vaccine impact assessment within the School of Pharmacy's Department of Pharmacy infrastructure.
