Introduction

As a mentor, Professor Lee is passionate about guiding young professionals, fostering critical thinking, and providing hands-on experience in protein aggregation, nanomedicine, reactive oxygen species and photodynamic reactions. Interns under Professor Lee’s supervision will gain practical insights into protein aggregation or nanomedicine, receive valuable career advice, and have the opportunity to contribute to the related fields.

Professor Lee works on aggregation of amyloid proteins, such as prion  and gama D crystallin. Recently, she starts working on phytochemical treatments and photo-induced therapies on tumors and Candida species. Nanotechnology  incorporating targeting therapy has been applied in the studies of photo-induced therapies.  Anti-bacterial or anti-tumor activities of phytochemical treatments and photo-induced therapies have been investigated.
