Dr. Lee received her B.S. degree in Physics from KAIST in 2003, and her Ph.D. degree, with a major in Neurobiology from Seoul National University in 2008. During her graduate career in Dr. Kaang's laboratory, she studied molecular mechanism of memory reconsolidation using animal models. During her postdoctoral training at National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)  / NIH, she worked with Dr. Chris Baker on human functional brain imaging (fMRI) combined with behavioral tasks. Especially she investigated neural representations throughout the major visual processing pathways during perception and mental imagery, and goal-dependent representation during working memory. Currently, Dr. Lee is the principal investigator of the Memory and Cognition Laboratory (MClab) at KAIST. The research of MClab focuses on understanding brain-wide mechanism of memory processes and developing effective interventions for treating memory-related mental disorders such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
