Dr Hami Lee

Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Substance Abuse, Lewis Katz Medical Center. My project is studying the effect of methylation in CACNA1C on substance abuse using iPSC models.

I am very open to any opportunities to use my knowledge and learning enthusiasm to talk about science in psychiatry or neuroscience. Throughout my academic career, I have participated in many different interdisciplinary studies which are not only within science (neuroscience and psychology) but humanities and science.

My future goal is to make science, especially neuroscience and psychology easy to the public. I would like to connect the scientific research to the public real life.
