Welcome to BCB's Newest Assistant Professor - Dr. Jae Ho Lee
The Biochemistry and Cell Biology Department is excited to welcome Assistant Professor Jae Ho Lee to Stony Brook! Dr. Lee joined the department following his postdoctoral research at Stanford University in Judith Fyrdman's lab.
Dr. Lee's is a member of the Renaissance School of Medicine and explained the goal of his lab's research, "Our lab is broadly interested in understanding how the speed of ribosome translation impacts protein synthesis and maturation during different cotranslational events. One of our main experimental approaches is ribosome profiling (Ribo-seq), which allows us to obtain high-resolution information on the movement of ribosomes along the mRNAs. Our goal is to discover novel mechanisms that regulate protein biogenesis and maturation through bioinformatic analysis of sequencing data coupled with biochemical/biophysical approaches."
