Professor Soon Lee serves as Chair of Pathology at Western Sydney University's School of Medicine. He obtained his Doctor of Medicine and Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery from the University of Melbourne. His leadership encompasses academic pathology and cancer research initiatives within the institution.
Professor Lee's research program focuses on molecular oncology with specialization in:
- Breast cancer pathology, particularly malignant phyllodes tumor characterization
- Colorectal and rectal cancer biomarker discovery
- Microsatellite instability and DNA methylation profiling
- HPV-related carcinogenesis mechanisms
- Prognostic indicator development for clinical oncology
Recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate strong focus on translational cancer research, particularly biomarkers for gastrointestinal and breast malignancies. Work emphasizes clinical applications of molecular diagnostics and prognostic model development. Publication output shows consistent productivity with 7-17 annual research outputs in recent years.
Professor Lee has secured multiple competitive grants including:
- Cancer and Inflammation project funded by Cancer Institute NSW (2019-2020)
- Therapeutic target identification for malignant phyllodes tumors (NBCF 2019-2020)
- Stage IV colorectal cancer management strategies (SWSLHD 2019-2021)
- Novel thiosemicarbazones for breast cancer therapy (NBCF 2019-2020)
While no formal laboratory name is specified, Professor Lee leads a cancer pathology research group at Western Sydney University focusing on molecular diagnostics and translational oncology. The group contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals in health domain.
