Biography

Dr. Carol Lee is a Project Lead at the Motor Neurone Disease Research Centre, focusing on geolocation mapping of MND cases and the systematic identification of sporadic MND patients in New South Wales. She earned her BSc (Honours) in Pharmacology from the University of New South Wales and obtained her PhD in Immunology from the University of Sydney, conducting research at Westmead Hospital. Her doctoral research at the Westmead Millennium Institute investigated the effects of HIV on human T-cell function, notably identifying how the proline-rich region of the HIV Nef protein disrupts T-cell migration. After her PhD, Dr. Lee continued her training at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Antibody Therapeutics, where she developed antibodies for basic and translational research. With over 10 years in drug development within pharmaceutical R&D, her expertise lies in clinical pharmacology, particularly in how genetic and environmental factors influence drug dosing. Dr. Lee has contributed to the registration of numerous drugs in East Asian markets by profiling ethnic sensitivities, establishing clinical development strategies to meet regional requirements. Her research includes pharmacogenomics and real-world evidence studies related to alopecia, demonstrating her commitment to public health and implementation science. Currently, she continues her medical research at Macquarie University, advancing studies on Motor Neurone Disease.
