Won Hee Lee, PhD

The Lee lab focuses on the use of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to study the interplay between environmental exposure and the development of cardiovascular diseases. We seek to achieve this understanding by various cellular, genetic and biochemical approaches coupled with patients’ data. A recent focus of our research is to develop a cellular model of human origin to assess potential cardiovascular susceptibility associated with radiation and e-cigarette/cigarette use.
