Jennifer Lee, PhD (she/her/hers)

Scientist II
Tufts University
Boston, Massachusetts, United States

Dr. Jennifer Lee is a Scientist II at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University (HNRCA) and a Research Assistant Professor in Medicine at Tufts University School of Medicine. Dr. Lee has more than fifteen years of experience as a basic scientist working with rodent models in the context of obesity and diabetes. Leveraging a combination of mouse genetics, cell-based models, imaging, and molecular biology, her research program focuses on understanding how dietary nutrition interacts with the gut microbiome and the gastrointestinal epithelium to regulate glucose metabolism and normative aging processes in mice. One of the major goals of her research program is to identify nutrition-based interventions that can improve and support host metabolism across the healthspan. Dr. Lee received her PhD in Nutritional Biology from the University of California Davis and did post-doctoral fellowships at The Tanenbaum-Lunenfeld Research Institute at The University of Toronto, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School. She is the recipient of an NIH K01 Career Development Award and her research is published in respected peer-reviewed journals.
