Kyongbum Lee
Chair, Department of Chemical and Biological
Engineering
Associate Professor, Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering
Education:
2002 - Post-doc, Massachusetts General Hospital and Shriners
Hospital for Children, Boston, MA
2002 - Ph.D., M.I.T., Cambridge, MA
1995 - B.S., Stanford University, Stanford, CA
Research Areas:
Interest areas: metabolic
engineering, tissue engineering, systems biology
We are interested in the study of cellular metabolism and
its role in directing biological function. Our research
goals are to gain fundamental insights into the biochemical
and biophysical cues contributing to the regulation of
metabolic pathways, and to develop technologies for
assembling, characterizing and manipulating these systems.
Our vision is to translate these basic insights and
technologies into applications leading to engineering
practice and meaningful health outcomes. We are especially
interested in discovering therapeutic and diagnostic targets
for metabolic diseases such as obesity.
