ACADEMIC CAREER

Jun-Seok Lee received his Ph.D. in 2009 from New York University, where he developed a diversity-oriented BODIPY library for bioimaging probe discovery. Following his doctoral studies, he joined the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), serving as a principal researcher from 2010 to 2021. He then transitioned to academia as an Associate Professor in the Department of Pharmacology at Korea University College of Medicine (2021-2025). He is currently an Associate Professor in the School of Transdisciplinary Innovations and the Department of Chemistry at Seoul National University. His research focuses on chemical proteomics and host-pathogen interaction studies. Since 2021, he has served on the Editorial Advisory Board of ChemBioChem and as an Associate Editor of Proteome Science.
