Biography:

Dr. Lee is an Associate Professor in the Department of Preventive Medicine and Community Health, Division of Nutrition. He teaches GI/Nutrition as a course facilitator in the medical school and often interacts with students about the analytical aspects of porphyrin compounds. He oversees the operation of the Porphyria Laboratory, which serves not only UTMB patients but also serves as an international reference laboratory. He is a clinical chemist and works on heme precursors, porphyrin compounds, and enzymes involved in heme pathway. He serves currently as an Editorial Board Member of Clinica Chimica Acta (2001 - 2004).
