Lee Ying, MD, PhD, MS, MPhil is a researcher and clinician affiliated with the Ahuja Lab at Yale School of Medicine. They completed their MD at Yale School of Medicine (2020) and hold advanced degrees in Pharmacology from Yale Graduate School, including a PhD (2019), MS (2018), and MPhil (2018). Their undergraduate degree is in Molecular and Cellular Biology from UC Berkeley (2011). Dr. Ying’s research focuses on obesity, oncology, and surgical outcomes, with particular emphasis on bariatric surgery techniques, pancreatic cancer, and health equity in surgical care. Their work spans clinical research, epidemiological analysis, and translational studies.
Key research areas include robotic surgical techniques, metabolic surgery outcomes in diverse populations, and molecular biomarkers for pancreatic malignancies. Collaborations with surgeons like Nita Ahuja and Saber Ghiassi reflect multidisciplinary engagement. Their publications analyze preoperative risk factors (e.g., hypoalbuminemia), postoperative complications, and disparities in ventral hernia repair. Recent work explores stapling platform influences on robotic sleeve gastrectomy outcomes and the role of promoter hypermethylation in cancer risk stratification.
Dr. Ying’s articles highlight trends in evidence-based surgical guidelines (e.g., Roux-en-Y gastric bypass pathways), pandemic-era surgical safety, and epigenetic approaches to early cancer detection. Their contributions bridge clinical practice and research, addressing both technical and equity-related challenges in surgical care.
Notably, they advise no students but contribute to team-based studies involving residents and fellows. Their work is rooted in the Ahuja Lab, emphasizing translational oncology and surgical innovation.
