The Lee Laboratory is a newly established research group focused on elucidating the mechanisms underlying sex differences in anti-tumor immune responses and developing sex-specific therapies for glioblastoma.

Specifically, we investigates how biological sex influences T cell metabolism and neuroinflammation in glioblastoma and non-CNS tumors.

We seek highly motivated and creative candidates who are excited to join a new laboratory and contribute to this emerging area of research.
