Lab Members


Lance Lee, Ph.D.
Principal Investigator

Lance obtained his B.S. in Biochemistry from Boston College in 1995, his M.S. in Genetics from the University of Connecticut in 1997, and his Ph.D. in Cell and Developmental Biology from Stony Brook University in 2004.  He then did a postdoctoral fellowship at Children’s Hospital Boston / Harvard Medical School, where he studied genetic causes of primary ciliary dyskinesia in mouse models.  He is currently a faculty member in the Sanford Children’s Health Research Center, where he oversees the research projects in the Lee Lab with ongoing interests in cilia biology and primary ciliary dyskinesia genetics.
