About Luke Pyungse Lee
- Luke Pyungse Lee (born in March 22, 1959) is the Arnold and Barbara Silverman Distinguished Professor of Bioengineering, Biophysics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, at University of California, Berkeley.
- He is founding director of the Biomedical Institute for Global Health Research and Technology (BIGHEART) at the National University of Singapore.
- Lee has over 350 peer-reviewed publications and over 40 issued international patents.
- He is a pioneer in bionanophotonics, plasmonic resonant energy transfer (PRET), rapid photonic PCR, optofluidics, microfluidics for quantitative life sciences, and integrated molecular diagnostics systems.
- He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2010 and the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering in 2012.
- Lee received the 2009 IEEE William J.
- Morlock Award in 2009 and the 2010 Ho-Am Prize for his discovery of PRET and the development of quantum nanobiophotonics for optical gene regulations and molecular imaging (photonic RNA switch and gene circuit).
- His current research interests are quantum electron transfers in living organisms, molecular diagnostics of infectious and neurodegenerative diseases, and in vitro neurogenesis, with a focus both on studying fundamental quantum nanobiology and on solving ill-defined problems of global healthcare.
