Biography
Dr. Lee collaborates with NIAID and NIH investigators to elucidate the molecular basis of diseases with the aim of drug discovery. In this endeavor, computer simulations are being carried out to investigate the reaction mechanism of small molecules, enzyme mechanisms, and protein-ligand interactions. His major projects include the discovery of new drugs for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other antimicrobial agents, e.g., against drug-resistant bacteria.
