معرفی
Vi Lee is a Post Graduate Associate at the Yale School of Medicine, Yale University. She holds an MS in Personalized Medicine & Applied Engineering (expected 2024) from Yale and a BS in Biomolecular Science from New York University (2022). Her research focuses on lipid droplet biology, oncogenic signaling pathways, metabolic regulation, and cardiovascular mechanisms.
Key research interests include understanding lipid droplet functions in metabolic diseases, molecular mechanisms of RAS oncogene activation, and endothelial cell interactions in cardiac tissue. Her work bridges systems biology approaches with translational medicine, particularly in cancer biology and vascular health.
Publications highlight contributions to lipid droplet proteomics, oncogene regulation via PPP6C, and endothelial-mediated cardiac fibroblast signaling. Current projects explore metabolic gene regulation through MLX-family transcription factors and lipid transport pathways in endothelial cells.
No scientific awards are listed in available records. She has been involved in collaborative studies including genome-wide RNAi screens for HPV entry factors and retromer complex functions. Research has implications for developing therapeutic strategies targeting lipid metabolism and vascular diseases.
