Jason Lee, PhD

Jason Lee, PhD has extensive experience in the field of cell differentiation and stem cell research. Jason currently holds roles as a Cell Differentiation Scientist and Senior Scientist at Ovid Research. Prior to their current positions, they worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at The University of Texas at Austin, where they led research on the therapeutic use of stem cells for vascular recovery and made significant contributions to the field. Jason designed and built a high throughput device for applying mechanical forces to stem cell cultures and improved upon an implantable device for regenerating vascular and neural functions in impaired limbs. During their time at the university, they initiated four independent Ph.D. student projects, presented at prestigious conferences, and published multiple manuscripts and a book chapter. Jason also trained colleagues as the most experienced member of the lab. Before their postdoctoral research, Jason served as a Graduate Research Assistant at The University of Texas at Austin. Overall, Jason has a strong background in stem cell research and has made valuable contributions to the field through their work at various research institutions.
