Dr. Stanley Lee studies the molecular basis of blood cell development and how its dysregulation can lead to hematologic malignancies such as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). His research focuses on defining how disease-causing mutations impact the biology of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, and how they drive disease progression and response to therapy. The ultimate goal of Dr. Lee’s research is to translate this knowledge into novel treatments for patients with blood-related disorders including leukemia.

"I really started to understand that to have the most impactful experiment, you don’t have to have the perfect design. Science doesn’t always have to be beautiful or perfect. It’s even more important to be timely."
