Peng Lee is a Professor in the Department of Pathology and the Department of Urology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. His principal research focus is on elucidating the molecular mechanisms of hormonal receptors, including androgen and estrogen, as well as their cofactors and target genes in the development of endocrine organs and malignancies, particularly in breast and prostate cancers. Dr. Lee is particularly interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of androgen-independent prostate cancer. A compelling aspect of his research is to investigate how the expression and function of proteins in the stromal androgen receptor pathway influences stroma-epithelial interactions, which contribute to tumorigenesis. His long-term goal is to apply these findings to clinically relevant issues, aiming to identify prognostic and predictive biomarkers and discover novel therapeutic strategies for cancers.
