Education & Research

Dr Lee completed his six-year medical and surgical degree at the University of New South Wales, and was awarded the Tom Gibian Prize and Foundation Year Graduates Medal. Subsequently he was granted a full Kennedy Scholarship to attend the University of Oxford to learn how new therapies are discovered, and translated into the clinic for patients.

During his four-year Doctorate in Cellular and Molecular Medicine at the University of Oxford, Dr Lee's research identified novel alarmin pathways. His discoveries offered new insights into suppressing aberrant inflammation, inducing cancer remission, and reactivating youthful physiological processes. In addition, his time and learnings there imbued him with a deep understanding of the cellular and molecular processes that govern skin health, and the new therapies are a being discovered and developed to treat dermatological disorders.

Upon returning to Australia, he completed two years of Medical Officer residency at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, and then undertook six years of rigorous Specialist Dermatology training, where he focused on advanced skin cancer management and treating inflammatory dermatoses with precision medicines. He trained under the tutelage of Emeritus Dermatologists in the city: Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Royal North Shore Hospital, St Vincent's Hospital, The Skin Hospital Darlinghurst and Westmead, Westmead Hospital, Liverpool Hospital, Sydney Children's Hospital Westmead; and in the country: Dubbo, Taree, Bourke, Brewarrina, Lismore, Griffith, Coffs Harbour, and Grafton. He then completed a further 2 years of subspecialised instruction in Laser and Cosmetic Dermatology for modern therapies of acne, rosacea, skin ageing, and skin cancer.

In tandem with his clinical work, he helped build the Clinical and Translational Dermatology Laboratory at Royal North Shore Hospital, and serves there as the Head of Dermatology Research. He applies insights gained from his research activities in his care for patients in the Advanced Dermatology Therapeutics Clinic at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. And through his role as a Principal Investigator on cutting edge clinical trials, he discovers and develops next generation medicines and interventional technologies for his patients.

Dr Lee is dedicated to delivering evidence-based, compassionate care, and welcomes all patients to the practice.
