Silvia Lee

Silvia Lee is a Researcher at the University of Western Australia (UWA), affiliated with the UWA Medical School and the UWA Centre for Medical Research (affiliated with the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research). Her research focuses on immunology, virology, and cardiovascular medicine, with a strong emphasis on viral infections (e.g., HIV, cytomegalovirus), metabolic disorders, and clinical outcomes in chronic diseases. She has published 78 peer-reviewed articles and supervised 3 research works, contributing to interdisciplinary fields such as lipidomics, imaging techniques for sarcoidosis, and cytokine-viral interactions.

Her recent studies include evaluating lipid profiling methods (2025), assessing cardiac risks post-pneumonia (2025), and exploring imaging advancements for granuloma analysis (2024). Collaborations span virology, cardiology, and metabolomics, reflecting her expertise in translational biomedical research. She has participated in grants addressing Bordetella pertussis, HIV-related T-cell dysfunction, and CMV in transplant recipients.

Key contributions include linking viral footprints with IL-10 homologues (2024) and investigating gut microbiota in coronary syndromes (2024). Her work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in health and well-being.
