BIOGRAPHY
Professor Lee obtained his PhD in Pharmacology from The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2009, then pursued postdoctoral training in the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology of CUHK. He has published over 60 publications in peer-reviewed international journals (Scopus H-index 23), and serves as reviewers of a number of international journals.
His research can be divided into two major areas of orthopaedic with important clinical relevance. The first line focuses on the development of cell therapy to treat osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal problems. His team also explore novel treatment strategies such as MSC secretome, miRNA and biomaterials with MSC tracking and controlled release properties. The second line is on the biological roles of osteocyte in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. His team has developed advanced research platforms for the study of osteocyte, and recently established a composite model composed of circulating microRNA and bone turnover marker to predict curve progression.
SPECIALISED RESEARCH AREAS
- Etiopathogenesis of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
- Stem Cell Biology and Clinical Application
- Bone-Muscle Interaction
