Biography

Kin Sing Stephen Lee is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at Michigan State University. His research program focuses on the molecular mechanisms by which dietary lipids and environmental toxicants affect human health. Specifically, his work investigates the roles of omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in relation to various human diseases. Lee aims to elucidate the mechanisms through which the metabolites of these fatty acids influence human physiology, including their effects on inflammation and cancer biology. He has designed analogs of PUFA epoxides to explore their signaling mechanisms and therapeutic potential. Lee has contributed to the understanding of metabolic enzymes related to PUFA epoxides and the design of drug-like properties for sEH inhibitors, targeting their efficacy in treating conditions like diabetic neuropathic pain. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and a Ph.D. from Michigan State University.
