About Us
Where surgical innovation meets patient-centered outcomes.
Mission
The mission of Dr. Lee’s Lab is to generate clinically meaningful evidence that helps every patient receive safer, smarter, and more personalized reconstructive care.
Team
Leadership The Forefront Of Our Research Areas
Our team is composed of surgeons, research fellows, and trainees who share a passion for improving reconstructive care through thoughtful collaboration and mentorship. We believe impactful research starts with strong teams and a shared commitment to advancing patient outcomes.
Approach
Our Research Approach
Our research approach integrates rigorous methodology, clinical insight, and collaborative practice to generate evidence that meaningfully improves reconstructive surgical care. We emphasize reproducibility, patient-centered outcomes, and translation from research findings to real-world clinical impact.
Methodology
We use robust clinical research methods, including retrospective and prospective cohort studies, national database analyses, and patient-reported outcome measures. Our work emphasizes appropriate study design, risk adjustment, and transparent reporting to ensure clinically meaningful and reproducible results.
Lab Protocol
All studies follow standardized protocols with strict adherence to institutional review board (IRB) requirements and ethical research practices. We prioritize data integrity, consistency in data collection, and collaborative workflows across multidisciplinary teams.
Clinical Impact
Our work emphasizes clinically actionable findings that improve safety, recovery, and patient experience in reconstructive surgery. We prioritize research questions that directly inform surgical planning and postoperative care.
Education
Education is central to our mission. We actively mentor students, residents, fellows, and research trainees, fostering skills in clinical research, critical appraisal, and academic collaboration while promoting clear communication and lifelong learning.
