Professor Jeehiun Katherine Lee, Rutgers University
Jeehiun Katherine Lee is an organic chemist and a professor in the department of chemistry at Rutgers University. She currently runs a research lab on the New Brunswick campus.[1]
Although she is an organic chemist by training, she has expanded her research field to biological chemistry, using mass spectrometry, computer modeling and other methods to characterize reactivity and catalysis.[2]
Research
Lee's group combines experimental and computational methods to understand mechanisms of reactions important for chemistry and biology. Specifically, Lee has pioneered the use of traditionally physical methods, primarily mass spectrometry and computational chemistry, to tackle problems at the chemistry/biology interface, focusing on catalysis.[citation needed]
