Joohyung (Jay) Lee, Ph.D.

Since I came to the University of Massachusetts in 1998, I was involved in several clinical studies and research projects. Also, I worked as an assistant editor for the International Journal of Sport Nutrition & Exercise Metabolism for 3 years. The first stages of my dissertation involved the study of glutathione and muscle damage which led me to the study of neutrophils. I have learned several techniques including isolation of white blood cells, extraction of RNA, and microarray analysis at the UMASS medical school, Worcester. I also learned cell culture techniques. My work at UMASS was great experience in my life. Additionally, with all my laboratory skills and knowledge learned while I have been at UMASS, I will be able to fit myself to any research environment. Now I am currently in my country, South Korea to search a job position.
