Summary
- I am an academic physician scientist with expertise in translational microbiome research studies. I am currently funded by a K23 career development award from the NIH / NIAID (2016), an R21 exploratory/development award from the NIH / NIAID (2017), and an NKF Young Investigator Resarch Grant from the National Kidney Foundation (2017). My laboratory's current focus is establishing the relationship between the microbiome and complications in patients with kidney disease as well as kidney transplant recipients. I have pioneered work in establishing the relationship between the gut microbiota and post-transplant diarrhea as well as the relationship between the gut microbiota and urinary tract infections (Lee et al., Transplantation 96(8): 732-738, 2013). I have also investigated the relationship between the gut microbiota and tacrolimus dosing requirements (Lee et al., PLOS ONE 10(3):e0122399, 2015). I have expanded my research profile to include investigations of the urine microbiota in kidney transplant recipients and the peritoneal fluid microbiota in patients on peritoneal dialysis.
I am also a transplant nephrologist and an Assistant Attending at New York Presbyterian Hospital - Weill Cornell Medical Center since 2013.
