Faculty Biography:
Dr. Lee was born in Shanghai, China in 1936 and received a bachelor's degree from National Taiwan University. He came to Northwestern in 1971 to do research in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in the field of endocrinology, and subsequently joined the Department of Urology as Director of the Urology Research Laboratory. In the succeeding years, his productivity has advanced him to the level of full Professor and to a joint appointment with the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology. Under his direction, the laboratories have grown steadily and produced a large volume of basic research. To honor Dr. John Grayhack’s service as chair of the Department of Urology, funds were raised for the John T. Grayhack Professorship in Urological Research, and Dr. Lee was named as the first recipient in 1992.
