Personal profile
University profile
Professor Il-Hyung 'Eli' Lee received his PhD in Chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley. Before coming to Montclair State, Professor Lee was a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Postdoctoral Researcher at Berkeley and a visiting assistant professor at the University of Puget Sound. Dr. Lee’s research is on the biophysical understanding of lipid membrane-protein interactions. He has a distinguished research record with publications in premier journals. His work with cutting-edge, single-molecule imaging and fluorescence spectroscopy has revealed the organization of living cell membranes involved in brain function. Dr. Lee plans to develop more advanced imaging methods, which have therapeutic applications in the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries.
