معرفی
Young Lee is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics at the University of Florida. Their research focuses on neuromuscular junction biology, muscle physiology, and the molecular mechanisms underlying muscular dystrophies and sarcopenia. Lee has contributed to studies on synaptic elimination, gene therapy limitations, and myonuclear dynamics in skeletal muscle.
Research interests include:
- Neuromuscular junction development and pathology
- Gene editing technologies for muscle diseases
- Myosin and actin-based cellular mechanisms
- Synaptic plasticity and activity-dependent signaling
- Age-related muscle degeneration (sarcopenia)
Recent publications highlight advancements in understanding myosin-driven actin networks, limitations of dystrophin therapies, and the role of terminal Schwann cells in synapse remodeling. Lee has co-investigated grants exploring therapies for muscular dystrophies and contributed to interdisciplinary collaborations in muscle biology.
Lab affiliations include collaborative projects within the University of Florida's Pharmacology department focusing on translational muscle research.
