Meet the Lee Lab!

Laura Lee

Laura Lee is an incoming Assistant Professor in the Biology Department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She completed her PhD in Dominique Bergmann's lab at Stanford University, where she studied the role of histone modifications in stable cell fate commitment in the stomatal lineage. She then completed her postdoctoral work in Kenneth Birnbaum's lab at New York University, where she characterized a role for the metabolite glutathione in regulating the cell cycle and cellular reprogramming during root tip regeneration. She will work to unravel the mechanistic basis through which glutathione and other metabolites regulate cellular processes in her independent group.
